Dear Richard, Stefan,
Indeed, I do not see the main problem in the tray tranport at the
moment. It is more the timing of the transport which is bothering me.
What I mean is the following. When a print command is given with the
unmodified printer, (1) a new page is taken from the paper tray; (2)
this page operates a lever switch and the paper roler starts to turn
to transport the paper; (3) the paper is printed. If the timing
between events is not correct, it is not going to work. For example if
I put a page in the modified printer (flat path and paper holder etc.
removed) past the lever switch, the paper roller tranports the paper
out of the printer. There seems to be a critical timing between (1)
and (2). So the synchronization between the command to print a page
and the paper roller has to be modified. I don't know how to do that
yet.
With kind regards,
Gerard
