Is anyone else having problems with 3 hole paper on DEC's PS40? When
we complain to DEC they tell us that we are the only one's having the
problem so it must be the paper or the person loading the paper.

Unless we go through the proper incantations (load paper just before
it is to be printed on, curved side downward, keep paper in a box in
another room until loaded) the paper will jam somewhere along the
paper path. Sometimes the PS40 will print only a few pages before it
jams, other times it will print several hundred sheets, then jam.
Sometimes doing the incantations doesn't help, mostly it does.

We have tried different weight papers and have tried the papers in
different feed trays and 3 hole paper consistantly jams.
