Wrong Detection of Skew

Depending on the cause of the problem, do one of the following:

Sheets of mixed type, thickness, or color are loaded in the paper tray.

Load identical sheets in the paper tray.

Sheets of mixed color are loaded in the paper tray.

When printing from a tray containing sheets of mixed color, you can prevent paper misfeeding by specifying the following settings:

  1. In the [Machine: Image Position] group on the [Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators] menu, set 0103: [Deactivate Image Position Adjustment Across Feed Dir] to [On].

  2. Disable skew detection function.

    <If custom paper is used>

    In [Advanced Settings] for the custom paper you are using, set 014: [Skew Detection] to [Off].

    <If custom paper is no used>

    In the [Machine: Image Position] group on the [Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators] menu, set 104: [Deactivate Image Position Adjustment Across Feed Dir] to [Off].

An envelope is used.

If an envelope flap at the trailing edge is oblique, a skew may be wrongly detected when the envelope is transferred with its flap open.

Disable skew detection function.

<If custom paper is used>

In [Advanced Settings] for the custom paper you are using, set 014: [Skew Detection] to [Off].

<If custom paper is not used>

In the [Machine: Image Position] group on the [Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators] menu, set 0104: [Skew Detection] to [Off].

The skew detection level is too high.

Decrease the skew detection level.

In the [Machine: Image Position] group on the [Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators] menu, select 0104: [Skew Detection Level] and increase the value.

Increase the value to decrease the detection level.

Note

  • Disabling the skew detection function will allow skewed printing. If this is not acceptable, contact your service representative.
