Cut Sheet rice paper loading failure

Thin rice paper is sucked into the Center Platen grooves and Linear Blade Ridge. This implies that the friction between the Center Platen and the rice paper becomes higher than between the Overdrive wheels and the paper. This effect make it almost impossible to load the rice paper correctly because the Vacuum is too high.

Worm marks on HP Coated media with light area fills
