| I was looking for the word "skew" and was surprised not to see it. I suspect that is exactly what you are looking at. Skewed image (not square in the crossfeed direction), when copying off of the glass or using the DF70. The scanner may be warped downward in the front left corner, during transport or from customers leaning on it. Scanner support bracket in production April 2002. Preventatively, block up the scanner with a foam block during transport. Leave the DF off until final installation. Reform the left corner of the scanner upward for a square copy. The lead edge void may be used as a reference. See TSB 003.
I was around for the release of this machine, but never saw the external support bracket. In the field we used to call it the "Bear Hug". Wrap your arms around the scanner and give a good hearty lift at the left front corner, to square up the copy. Certain customers, I guess they were just really weak and wimpy, because they had to lay across the scanner whenever they stood at the copier. For these customers the "Bear Hug" was required nearly every visit. =^..^= |
