Ricoh 2238 skew

[leo34staffs]

Hi guys,
Im getting a skewed copy from all trays, it seems to be paper skew rather than trapezoid etc, i have increased the buckle to 5mm, but that did not help neither, apart from replacing the attraction roller on the transfer belt, any further suggestions?

Have a good look at the registration roller. I've had a AF3228 with the same problem. It turned out that the rubber on the registration roller was deformed. Replaced the roller and the problem was gone.

Also, check that the V transport door is latching properly.

Are internal test patterns also skewed?

I've had this caused by the transfer belt unit, specifically the area where the paper first contacts the belt & is fed under a thin foam roller. If this roller isn't perfectly straight or applies uneven pressure it can cause a skew.
