  4. Why doesn't the GS6000 allow feeding backwards?

    When you are loading material into the GS6000, you can only feed the material "forwards" (as it is a rear loading machine). When you are printing double-sided banners or small pieces,it becomes a hassle when the machine does not allow you to feed the material backwards a bit with the rollers...
