Digital BW, The Print

--- John, inside printer(lid is open, there is a metal  strip that
runs the width with pointed thin "pizza wheels"). There is a white,
small roller (far left)the roller can be pushed down to lift the strip
and pizza wheels.  this has eliminated the pizza wheel tracks, as far
as the larger black rollers that seem to be used to eject the paper,
the link someone provided to MIS will elminate the larger wheel
tracks. the plastic ties can be purchase at a hardware store. Pj
