WARNING! WARNING! (Danger Will Robinson and all that) Some laser printers,
including LN03s, may experience damage if you run printed pages through them
again.  The reason I've been given is that some toner particles already on the
sheet will dislodge whilst passing through a second time, accumulating in the
moving parts of the printer.  Do as thou wilt.
