[comp.sys.next] Summary: NeXT printer: weight of paper query

christopher@gacvx2.gac.edu (04/18/91)

About a week and a half ago I posted a message here asking whether or not
there is a weight limit on the paper you can send through the NeXT printer,
and about transparencies.

For the paper query, the replies I have suggest that there is no fixed upper
limit, but result (and jamming) can be erratic with the heavier paper.
Pat McGee, jpm@lanl.gov, stated that he had successfully run card stock through
his printer to make up a batch of business cards, and this was the heaviest
paper weight indicated by the respondees.

Transparencies work fine, provided one uses transparencies designed for laser
printers.  If you use non-laser printer transparencies, expect possible
meltdowns.

Thanks to everyone that responded,
