Kyocera Ecosys M2540dw - skew

[kuby]

Got a new machine in today and the image is skewed about 3 mil. There is not adjustment for the scanner and nothing I can find to adjust the paper skew. Any help would be appreciated or just send it back?

Thanks

Well I did find a adjustment procedure U411, have to have test originals to do them, ChartA 302NM94340 and ChartB 302NM94330.

I’d DOA it.

Kuby-

Did you find a fix for the skewing? I have 35 of these to install and the first 3 out of the box are skewing, needless to say I haven't un-boxed the the other 32 yet. Any information would be helpful. THANKS!

No it did not fix it. Got a new machine and it does it too. I guess it is the nature of the breast?

Thanks, I was hoping you found a fix. I'll call work support, and hopefully they will have a solution, or at-least i will have a case number for the Regional Tech.

Please temper your expectations. It's a desktop unit. If people need a digital scan without much fuss it'll do.

Is the image skewed equally from top to bottom?

So did you determine if it's a paper skew or an original skew?

I had a tabletop B&W printer that was skewing ~3mm from all the trays. I was able to completely remove the paper skew by installing a longer pressure spring at the pre-registration roller.

The spring at the left is the original. The spring in the center is the replacement that I used. The spring at the right was too strong and the idler shaft would not stay clipped in long enough to install the rollers (they launched across the room). I can get measurements and model numbers, but I think you get the basic concept. =^..^=

Unofficial fix. Shim the rear side of your fusing unit.

We had to shim a fuser on a M3550 that was skewing bad with legal paper.
