I found a manual on bama t'other day, and have printed all but 
the last few pages. My Acroread barfs on the big pages full of 
graphics, so I need to try ghostscript on them. 

I _HEART_ my 8640B. It has options 1, 2, and 3, and went out of
calibration New Year's Day. *sigh*. It is S/N 2717A29773, which
I expect makes it late in the stream.
