	FYI, do NOT run the 8/300 processor without the side panels.
We discovered (the hard way) that if you do, you will disrupt the 
marginally engineered air-flow inside the machine, and the image boards
will overheat, resulting in sending bad signals to the print engine
resulting in black streaks running vertically down the page, getting worse
as the boards get hotter.
	An extremely bitchy lady in Imagen's hardware service group
told me that they had never seen this before (which I find hard to
believe), and that since I hadn't paid Imagen $300 to take the machine out
out of the box in the first place, I had no right to expect it to work!!
	In stark contrast, the software service people are still extremely
helpful, and are probably the people to consult even if you have hardware
problems.
