A brief tip for R200/300 CD/DVD Printing

[triphop]

Here goes:

I often have problems with the tray misfeeding. I have found one sure-fire way to solve them.

1. Feed the tray with CD into the CD front slot as usual.
2. Apply !!slight!! pressure with fingerpit toward the printer. The line-up arrow heads are slightly mismatched with the CD tray arrow about 7mm more toward the printer.
3. Maintain the slight pressure and start the print job. The tray feeds perfectly each time.

Hope this helps.

Like the others posting to this thread I also have a Epson R200 and have been experiencing problems with the DVD tray misfeeding. I have been experiencing misfeeds of the DVD tray about 30% of the time. I have tried several different things including ordering a new DVD tray and none of these has helped. Recently I have found something that seems to have fixed the problem. You align the white arrows on the DVD tray with the black arrows on the printer when you insert the DVD tray into the printer before printing. When you then start printing the printer will initially kick the DVD tray out slightly before it starts pulling it in to print the DVD. After the printer initially kicks the DVD tray out, it pauses briefly before drawing the tray into the printer to print the DVD. What you must do is quickly realign the white arrows on the tray with those on the printer before the printer starts to draw the tray into it to print it. I have done this on twenty consecutive DVDs now that I have printed and they all printed correctly with no tray misfeeds. I would like other owners of the R200 to try this and let me know if that has helped correct the tray misfeed problems that you have been having.

Good luck
