How many of you thought that "Prepunched" media type was just a label, so everybody knew where the prepunched paper was, or where to load it?
It turns out that "Prepunched" media type actually does something! My enduser called for compression blurs 55mm from the trailing edge, only from tray #3 & #4 ... oh, yeah ... KM-8003i. In fact the prepunched paper was loaded Letter in tray #3 & #4, so that middle hole was incorrectly detecting the trailing edge at 8", when the hole came by. I confirmed it by loading not-punched paper: no blur.

I had already given my little talk on the topic recommending loading the prepunched media LTR-R so the holes don't line up with the middle sensors ... and by the way, you can set this "Prepunched" media type so everybody knows that you switched it around. A had to change some of the paper tray defaults to get everything to work properly from copying and printing.
Then just for kicks, I set tray #3 & #4 to prepunched media type and the blurs were gone! I couldn't believe it. That media type setting actually changes the paper timing! Then, I had to tell the customer to ignore everything I just said, because I found a setting that compensates for the holes.
Amazing. =^..^=
