Here's a summary of the jamming solutions I recieved:

-Always form feed before printing

-Get the metal foil out-of-paper-detector upgraded to an optical one. The
 person who mailed this said it cost him $40 (Canadian) + 1 hr labor.

-Buy a sheet feeder. Several people on a local BBS said this solved all
 their jamming prblems and saved them money on paper. (I guess xerox paper
 is cheaper than tracter feed)

-Suspend imagewriter upside down against the wall (facing out of course).
 This straightens out the feed path for the incoming paper and provides
 more uniform tension.


Is it true that the out-of-paper-detector is responsible for the jamming. If
so, couldn't I just remove it?
