Ok... Didn't know about that group. Thanks for the hint.

I haven't rotated yet, but I did change the position of the board
left/right with no change. Also, the image drum is 76 mm circumference,
and there's nothing printed 76 mm before the defect. It _does_ look like
a static problem. I'll do some more testing when I get more paper.

Thanks,
