<DIV>Hi John:</DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV>I'll leave most of this to those who are familiar with the 600, but 
regarding #3 below, NO!&nbsp; You apparently tried to set vacuum without the 
tape loaded.&nbsp; The proper vacuum setting is with the tape in the guide, so 
you have way too much vacuum as it is now set.</DIV>
