Well, I did use it rather lightly, but when I did run it I ran it pretty  
hard, printing out UME scores in graphics mode.  The manual warned against  
running graphics mode for more than a few minutes at a time, fearing something  
would overheat, so I always kept a close watch on it.  (FWIW, the brass  primary 
gear on the carriage stepper motor of my Panasonic Epson knockoff gets  too 
hot to touch after a few minutes of printing organ rolls, but the old bear  
refuses to die, whew).
 
So OK, I babied my DMP-105, but did push the thermal limits.  Sure it  had 
its share of paper jams, but those were the days when even professionals  swore 
"never leave the room during a print job."  --Mike K.
