We have an old imagewriter (in MacPlus Tan color). I'm not sure if
it's an Imagewriter I or II (there's an Apple on the front, but the
word "imagewriter" does not appear). When it feeds paper, it seems to
push the paper from behind the platen. We are having a problem with
fanfold paper. On alternate pages, when the crease is convex (from a
sideview of the platen), the paper bunches up an gets caught beneath
the rollers that rest on top of the platen (i.e. the crease in the
paper makes it rise half an inch above the platen near the word "jam"
below). Does anyone know how to remedy this problem? Thanks.
