The instructions I received today from Mick's distributor indicate the post-it is to be folded over the lead edge. They are instructions that were generated by Mick. I hestitate to post the instructions because I view them as Mick's property. Perhaps he will shed more light on this issue when he returns. His office indicated he was out-of-town today.

I don't see how placing 10 sheets in a bypass tray can be equated with taking 10 sheets, folding 20 post-its (hopefully square and in the right general location) and placing them in the same bypass tray. The math just does not add up for me.

Perhaps this is another case of ... not every process is right for every user or application. I don't even like to slow down and reload the main tray when its empty.

Oddly enough Patty, I have not been folding over the post its. I have just placed them "on" the paper on the glossy side. Seems to have been working just fine.......

You are right, not every process is for everyone. I"m not sure I will embrace this one, but it is worth experimenting with.

Just my two cents. Want change?

Patty,

We supply properly cut down post it notes with the paper. Its application is an insurance policy to keep the paper from wrapping on the fuser roller of the printers. We used to get an occasional "wrap up", which in some printers is very time consuming to un-do. Have not had one for months now. We recommend this procedure for all laser printers, not just the Oki's

The post it notes also allow you to put multiple sheets of paper in the bypass tray for printing, rather than one at a time, another time saver.

There are no ill effects of touching the paper when applying the notes.

Thanks to all for responding. Interesting that I got no 2 of the same answer. The answers ran the gamut from don't use post-its on any model to you should use them on all models. Some fold, some don't.

Fortunately what I haven't heard is a report that the post-it was left behind in the paper path.

I'll have to take the supplier's recommendations and see if they work for my production style.

Dave,

Thank you for the input. I am always skeptical to try things like that because of the fact that it is difficult at best to get equipment serviced in the middle of the blue pacific.

However, I will give it a try. Once. ( insert laugh here).

Thanks
