69.0. "LN03s damaged by paper coating" by RDGE00::THOMPSON () Tue Sep 22 1987 14:23

    The LN03 printers have up until now been printing on ordinary
    photocopying paper. This is fine as long as only 1000 pages are printed
    each month. We seem to be getting through about 1000 pages every
    couple of days and the mechanism inside is becoming damaged by the
    coating present on ordinary paper

    
    So, at vast expense and after much delay I can announce the imminent
    arrival of...... DEC-brand laser printer paper which I am assured
    will not oxidise the rubber rollers inside the LN03's.
    
    When it arrives - hopefully sometime today - please avoid reloading
    the LN03's with cheapo-brand paper.
    
    The new paper will be kept in the cupboards just outside the door
    of computer room 1.

69.1What paper coating?RDGE00::RUSSELLWhere is Basingstoke, anyway?Tue Sep 22 1987 18:1114
    And what, pray, is the difference between photocopying paper
    and the DEC brand laser printer paper....
    
    What coating? Plain paper copiers use just plain paper, and have
    no coatings.
    
    Is there one? Is there a difference?
    
    Sounds like a good marketing ploy to rip off our custo....
    
    er, sorry, ensure our customers get high quality supplies to match
    the high quality hardware.

69.2The properties of weathered GraniteRDGE00::THOMPSONTue Oct 06 1987 17:055
    The percentage kaolin?  - whatever the difference , the photocopying
    paper makes a real mess of the inside of an LN03. Witness the LN03
    which fell to bits in mid September.
