Thanks, guys. This makes me feel more confident.

I have read here about the 4800 having some sort of vacuum system. I have
never seen a 4800 up close and never printed on me but this system does
use roller wheels from what I have read. Is that correct?

 I have an R2400 and never a problem with wheel marks. Correct me if I'm
wrong but don't the 2400 and 3800 have similar paper feed mechanisms?

So what does this sound like to you 3800 early adopters: wheel marks on a
few (possibly out of spec?) units? a driver setting problem? inexperienced
users? bad luck?

Dave.

PS. Thanks to Bob Michaels for the D-roller URL.
