Feed Problem with DN

Friends; I’m trying to print digital negatives with my 3880. I’ve followed the instructions to use the rear feed, jamming the micro switch to disable the star-wheels and and placing a piece of tape to ramp the guide tab on the front feed tray. After the normal amount to fiddling I’m printing a neg - problem is the film stops feeding just before the end - any thoughts on how to fix this - see attached scan showing the result of the problem. Thanks, MarkFoto (Mark Godfrey <mrgpix1@verizon.net>

Hey Mark. For PiezoDN questions, feel free to post on the private forum too:Piezography Premium Support Forum

Because the front star rollers are up, it will not advance past .56 inches at the bottom. In Page setup you need to set the printer margins to 1 inch at the bottom (just like a roll printer) for safety’s sake. Use larger sheets of paper to get the neg size you need. This is the one compromise with printing with no star-wheels.

best,
Walker

Walker - thanks for the incredibly quick response - good to know about the feed limitation with the star-wheels up, I’ll follow your advice. best, Mark
