Hi Darrell,

This must be new, since this originally was only to measure the overall
length, to see if the transport was slipping...not to compare the two sides.
Are you sure about comparing the two sides?  That just doesn't make sense to
me...

Every printer is better than the 3000.  It's a front feed printer, which is
what adds to the problem.  If you are having paper feed problems, feed it
from the rear.  I have no problem feeding from the front though with Epson
Heavyweight Matte paper.

Regards,

Austin
