I can't figure out how to specify the rear sheet feeder for a custom paper size. I can create the size AOK using Page Setup > Manage Custom Sizes > +. This paper requires the manual rear sheet feeder. But I can't see any way of specifying the rear manual sheet feeder for any custom size. I'm on a Mac. Epson 3800. Epson Exhibition Fiber. Custom size 8in x 20in. Media Type chosen is Premium Luster (per Epson).
Am I overlooking something or is this impossible to do.
thanks
Brad

Are you using Photoshop? Then you can go to File -> Page setup and select manual rear feed there.

Edit: Maybe a version issue.
Once you define the custom size in the manage custom sizes, then when you go to File - Print, and select Print settings, you should be able to change the feeder to rear
From the Epson support (http://files.support.epson.com/htmldocs/pro38_/pro38_ug/softx_2.htm):
If you have selected custom paper, the paper source pop-up menu appears. Select Sheet Feeder if you are using the Auto Sheet Feeder. Select Manual-Front or Manual-Rear if you are using the front or rear manual feed slot.

Francisco,
I've edited this post.......... I now see that you can select the paper feed in the print settings dialog window, in both Photoshop CS5 and in Lightroom. Thank you. That's it.
