Q: - How to load canvas sheets in R1800 printer without stress

Without trick it is a hassle to load canvas in a R1800 printer and using the automatically feed fuctions of the printer fails often resulting in a lot of waste inches of the costly canvas.

Here is the trick we are using and what  never fails.

1. Empty all paper trays and load some sheet of paper (letter or A4 format will do) in the back (roll) tray and let the printer take it in.



2. Then turn the printer off. The printer now thinks a roll is loaded and will not reload anything if you turn the printer on again.




3. Release the 3 screws from the back cover in order to remove the side cover on the left. In other words, the cover opposite of the capping station where the gearing are located.
   
   
   Use a flat screwdryer to release the sidecover.
   






4. Carefully turn the big gear to feed the paper manually a few inches to the front.




5. Now enter your sheet of canvas into the back tray under the paper sheet and manually feed it into the printer. Feed until the canvas is just cover the printer bed and remove then the paper through the front.



6. Turn the printer on. Set your driver to "Velvet Fine Art Paper", Roll, Banner Mode and you are ready to print.
