For us prison guards are the worst. Next are other state employees. Oddly enough the federal ones tend not to break things. Then comes teachers.
So, yesterday I went back to the machine and here's what I found. The swivel guide plate that sits outside the first paper feed station was popped out of place. So I put that back. The swivel guide plate for tray three was way out of play and had had it's retainer clip broken off. Found the clip and glued it back on then replaced the guide plate. The grip material feed tire for the third paper feed station had partially slid off the core and was sitting at an angle. I had replaced it a week ago when I was there and it looked fine then but I believe the traction material expands and contracts at a different rate than the core does so temperature changes have caused them to slip off the core before while still in the box in my car stock. So I replaced it with a different roller just to be done with it.
Tray 1 and 2 now have quite good registration with almost no skew, so I'm happy with that. Tray three still has some but it's enough that I doubt the guards will notice and complain.
I did notice that it seemed like one of the rubber rollers on the driven part of the registration roller that sits on the paper transfer unit seemed to have slid over some and was a bit swollen in one spot. So I will probably replace that sometime in the future.
