Right on, Charles. Putting something on a blank page to indicate that it is intentionally blank is not "just" a mil-spec requirement. It's a requirement in mil specs because it is an attempt to (at least partially) nullify Murphy's Law when printing double-sided. As you say, how does the printer know whether it's a misfeed or an intentionally blank page if both are completely blank? ============================================================== At 07:02 PM 4/5/00 +0100, Charles Hawtrey wrote: >Eric, > >And the guy who prints or photocopies 1000 pages, on to double-sided paper: how >does he/she know whether it was one of your, well, blank pages, or a not-so-well >misfeed resulting in 950 pages needing to be printed/copied all over again? > >I know - I've done it more times than I care to remember.
