    Odd.
    Sounds more like your liner giving off the smell. Photocopy machinies fuse a plastic toner onto the paper. Is the liner new? They often give off an odor when they get warm (and are new).

    The liner is in its 5th season this year.

    I think I figured out what the smell was: the remains of trichlor pucks in the autochlorinator. Now that they're gone and I'm using strictly LC the smell has disappeared.
