Re: [Digital BW] Re: 3800 Ticking Noise

Yes. I do and it is not from head strikes.  The first one I had
didn't. The replacement does, but this is the only issue and it does
other things much better than the first one such as very consistent
manual rear paper feeding so I will live with the ticking. I don't
even notice it anymore.
