Re: now Rear Feeding 3000 with straight path

Sam,

I found that I could not use your method as the problem is not
consistent enough; at times the shorter side is on the reverse. I have
also removed all the pizza wheels which did not make any difference. 
Switching back to the manual feed has solved the problem except that it
is a little harder with very heavy paper which I have given up on.
Somerset Velvet is the one I return to again and again; the Arches 140
lb. is just causing to many problems for me. 

I have also put some of the pizza wheels back as they help me with
lining up the starting point for the paper. 

It looks like the  experimenting with stronger springs (after removing the
guts of the printer) did not yield satisfactory results either. I wonder if
Jon Cone ever found a solution, I did not keep up on that list and
therefore don't know.

I am happy that using the manual slot has solved this for me. Thanks for
the concern.
