I printed some source code two-up landscape on ajax today
and the right-hand margin of one page (duplexed) was pretty
close to the edge of the page.
Are issues with the new ajax (a test hp8000?) supposed to go
somewhere special?
I did a 10-page paper path test and things were poor, some worse than
the others. I'm interdepartmental mailing them to Kyle in W20-028,
sorted in order from worst to best, based on the bottom margin
(portrait) of the reverse page. "Copy 10 of 10" fell victim to
a paper jam and so I tossed it. Side 2 of Copy 9 is the worst
of the set, and is on top.
The reverse left margin is pretty crooked (part of the same problem,
no doubt), but on different pages than the reverse bottom. Copy 7
and Copy 6 (again, Side 2), are particularly egregious cases.
If things are this bad on a 10-sheet printout (and I had to change the
paper in the middle since the tray ran out, so it wasn't just a bad
run of paper), I think there's something really wrong.
Thanks for checking!
