Actually, this isn't true either, especially for older assemblies. Laser paper is supposed to have an imperceptible curl to compensate for the curl introduced by the fuser. When loaded correctly, the paper with its baseline curl goes through the fuser, gets curled the other way, and comes out with the two curls cancelling (i.e., straight). When loaded wrong, you get a double curl and a jam. This happened incessantly with my otherwise excellent LW 16/600 and I was about ready to go buy new rollers and try to repair it (at moderate expense) when someone recommended I just turn the paper over. Suddenly, it started working perfectly! While this may make no difference with modern assemblies (dunno), it *does* make a difference with older printers, believe me. As a result, I only buy sided laser printer stock, and load it into the printer as it directs, and the LaserWriter just purrs now. -- ---------------------------------- personal: http://www.armory.com/~spectre/ -- Cameron Kaiser, Floodgap Systems Ltd * So.
