improve printers ability to feed used paper
I am trying again to print a larger document doublesided on a one-side
inkjet printer (Brother MFC-665CW). The problem is that while it draws in the fresh paper just fine, once I reverse the paper and reinsert it for the reverse page, it draws in two pages at ones on occasion, thus getting the page sequence all wrong. I already 'feather' the re-assembled set of pager. Is there anything else I should (should not) do? Could this be static? Any tricks will be appreciated M |

improve printers ability to feed used paper
Other than hand feeding each page, one at a time, I know of no way to
absolutely prevent a misfeed or double feed. Further, paper printed on one side already tends to develop a "tooth" from swelling with the ink, and even texture from the ink itself, and so pages tend to get "stuck" together during feeding. Most inkjet printers were never designed for duplex printing. I do believe HP and Canon have some, and you might want to look into them. They print each side of the paper before moving to the next sheet, flipping it over during the printing process.

As you say it prints both sides of each sheet as it goes, it's very slow doing this because it does an ink-drying wait after printing the first side of each sheet. -- Chris Green |

But that time can be adjusted to make the waiting minimal. David -- David Rance writing from Caversham, Reading, UK http://rance.org.uk |

I've never bothered because I also have a (B&W) laser that does double-sided so it's not that often that I use the 7310's ability. -- Chris Green |
