Re: [Digital BW] Re: Proofing on the R2400

Ginny: I'm a little confused, it seems by your message this morning that you have had you just received your 2400. You have asked many many questions about how to use it, what paper to use, etc. It's obvious that when it comes to the 2400, you have not yet made it to "novice". Yet when Mindy asked a question about paper feeding, even though your answer was correct, in your response you said "I've never had a problem as long as you don't stack the VFA" which implies you are an experienced 2400 user. I guess my question is, if in fact you are an experienced user, why do you ask so many questions. If you are not why do you imply that you are. There are many experts that participate in this forum (you all know who you are), but there are also many that respond as experts when they shouldn't (you also know who you are). I've already unrolled the fire hose. Gary www.pbase.com/garyallenbrown

(You then can save the setting) I've never had a problem as long as you don't stack the VFA. I usually only place one or 2 sheets in the normal feeder at a time.
