I recently purchased a QMS PS-410 to hook up to our Mac Plus at home.
One of the major uses is for my father's just-started consulting
business, so he can print brochures and form letters for soliciting
business.  The first few hundred copies of his initial mailing have
gone out, and the first few dozen copies have been returned as
undeliverable.... :-)  A problem has surfaced in the mailings, noted
on the ones that have been returned.  The toner on about 1/3 of the
mailings seems to be ghosting on the facing pages after going
through the mail.  We've tried testing by putting extended pressure
on folded copies.  Mom and Dad have called the post office to
inquire into sorting procedures, and have been assured that there is
not any heat involved in the process.  Any ideas on what's causing
this?  Better yet, any ideas on how to prevent this?  Mom's driving
us crazy with this....  :-)  Thanks.
