    I have a question about a Calcomp Techjet 5536 (inkjet) Printer/
    Plotter. It is used, in good shape and I've never printed with the
    machine yet.
    I turn it on and When the printer starts to initialize and then it
    asked for roll media and I load the roll media paper and then I get
    message(s) : "adjust the media edges" - I then raised the dust cover
    and release the media feed mechanism (pull down the gray bar), adjust
    the paper if necessary, raise the media feed mechanism , close the
    dust cover, the initialization continues and the paper moves in and
    out a couple of times, cuts off a 2 inch strip then the paper backs up
    just behind the front rollers then print carriage moves all the way to
    the left and then back to the right and then the the red error comes
    on and gives me the message : load media again, paper jam - I roll the
    paper back out and the front edge looks clean, unwrinkled or crimped.
    I tried a couple more times and the same thing happened - and I can't
    get further than that.

    If I were to try sheet paper, I select the cut sheet media in the menu
    and when I insert 8 1/2 x 11 (or somewhat larger size) paper instead
    of the roll paper it either says : "remove media" or "end of roll ".

    Any HELP in any /all category(s) w/ my questions would be
    appreciated !
