Yeah i have tried to run the job with "print as image" and all that did was make everything rougher. Same issue. First 2 pages looked fine and subsequent images look faded.
Something made me think it was a memory issue. It sounds to me like contacting my Konica tech could help? I do not believe there is a hard drive on the machine aside from the machine's internal memory.
I had run similar sized files on this machine in the past and had no issues. The problem seems to have happend within the last few months. I can't quite fiigue out whats changed since July.
In any case, thanks for your help.
