Oh yea, thanks also to Gregory for his reply - unfortunatly I found out the hard way that the 1045 (as well as a used 550 or 650) is way too slow in mixed size original mode. I did the demo on a 650 right in front of the customer and the machine was way slower that their old Mita 55 cpm machine. These machines operate at 10 cpm - even the 650! The 551, 700, 1060, 1070 have a much faster speed of around 30 cpm.
