Message-ID: Date: 17 Apr 91 17:03:26 GMT References: Sender: news@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu Organization: Ohio State Computer Science Lines: 12 In-reply-to: rbaker@magnus.acs.ohio-state.edu's message of 17 Apr 91 13:09:10 GMT I have heard that running paper through a second time to use both sides is a bad idea, in that some substance (maybe just the ink, maybe something else) on the paper from a first run-through would leave a residue on various rollers and such. However, this is merely a vague past memory; I can't point to any documentation of this. I *can* say from experience that, unless you take great pains to make sure that the recycled paper is put into the paper tray *just* so, you'll have noticeably more frequent paper jams, due to slight misalignments (rarer when putting in paper straight from the box). -- R David Francis francis@cis.ohio-state.edu
