Okay, very interesting. The larger sizes are the issue for me. I 
always feed from the back for 13x19, but not when proofing on
8x10 -- maybe that was one source of my wheel-mark problems. I
never thought of elevating the output.

Why minimize bends? So the paper doesn't put upward pressure
on the feed mechanism, which somehow causes roller marks?

Thanks much for the advice,
