My hope it that the roller cleaner will be of some help.

I wonder if the second page is knocked out of alignment by the force of
the first page being drawn up into the mechanism... It moves very
quickly...

Anyone have a suggested paper weight for these printers? I've tried
standard (20#) and Ink Jet (24#) paper with similar results...

Thanks,
