    You might also try lifting up the front left corner of the scanner (not the ADF, but the entire scanner unit). If some elephant were to lean on the ADF on the left side, it could cause the whole scanner to sag a bit on that left front corner. Just lift up on it a bit and see if you copies off the glass come out straight.

      when the front left corner of the flatbed is visibly bent down, often you will also see shadowing on the edge of full A3 copies off the glass. In a pinch sometimes this can be remidied by pulling up the front left of the flat bed (risk of back injury) but ultimately the machine is trash in my opinion once this has occured, unless you want to goto hell and back swapping in a non twisted scanner. I'm thinking cost reduction happened on the 4 series onwards with thinner steel used as never really had these issues on the older models.

        Love the precision adjustment of yanking up front left corner. The amount of times this has worked always surprises me.

          So you where lucky NOT to have the BH-250/350 series and BH-C-253/353 series.......

          They where notorious for their delicacy in that respect.

            We did have those and i even owned a c-253 for home use, over here i never really had issues with the scanners. BH-350 series i changed a number of toner bottle drives and refoamed sticking clutches on them, millions of fusers and other usual nonsense. c253 series was annoying for transfer belt pressure retraction issues and the death sentance of clogged toner pipes. Mine still works but cant even give it away for free.
