Re: 3110dn 8.5 x 14 - how ?
Posted: 22 Aug 2014, 19:11
A bit confused at the moment.. I was looking to use 8.5" x n" paper for printing card jigsaws. Currently I have to cut about 2mm from each end to fit the maximum print size on the 3110 (using BMS+ sized paper). The supplied paper tray cannot be extended so max is A4. Conde have a video that shows 8.5 x 14 being selected on a 3110 with the standard tray, not the expensive paper input tray with a fold down front. I don't understand this.
Video here: video
So.... I have just tried feeding a piece of 8.5 x 14 into the tray with the excess poking out the front between the lower tray and collector tray. A couple of bits of plastic lift the collector tray a few mm to allow the paper free passage, no problems. I may modify the paper tray by milling a few mm off the top to create a slot. Naturally this will only allow feeding a few sheets at a time but will save around £200.
