I am curious if a run of the mill Epson printer with a 8.5x11 print capacity can be modified by extending the carriage rail, putting in a longer print head ribbon and moving the limit switches out.
I noticed that the small and large printers of the same series had almost identical parts. Since the paper size is set from the software interface I am hoping they just set max size with the limit switches.
My next step is to switch the electronics between the printers to see if they function. Before I do this I am wondering if anyone has any thoughts or ideas on this?
