Digital BW, The Print

I was not able to find any cure for the pizza wheels other than removing
them. Not an easy job. I first removed all the carriages that hold the
wheels and then I got absolutely terrible marks on the paper. So I look at
the positions of the marks on the page and noticed that it seems to be the
individual wheels that cause the problem. If you remove the carriages and
press on the wheels you will see that the single wheels have tighter
springs. These are the ones that left marks on my prints. I pulled the
single wheels out of the carriages and left the double wheels. Problem went
away.

Keep in mind that removing the carriages is easy but replacing them is quite
tricky. I had to construct a special tool to help guide the carriages back
into place. I was not able to find a way to simply remove the covers and get
to the wheels like I could on my 1200. The mechanism for the CD tray makes
the whole thing more complicated.
