C451 P-14 - Skewed Magenta/Cyan/Yellow or Black

Re: C451 P-14 - Skewed Magenta/Cyan/Yellow or Black

There is a firmware upgrade for this problem, as previously mentioned. I installed the firmware and reset the skew adjust and it is as good as new. I had this problem about a week ago on the same model machine. There is a firmware listed that is specifically used for this problem and if you open the pdf for Version GC1-22 upgrade, it should be listed as P-14 skew fix. It is listed in the One Stop support section. If you have any more questions about it, let me know.

Had a similar problem a few years back on a C451, it turned out to be a blown ICP on the PH Relay Board, the one that fuses current to the cyan tilt adjustment motor....which explained why cyan always was skewed. The P14 warning code had been consistently on the display. After replace of board and skew adj reset, the customer was happy.

Yep, I had a similar issue with a blown ICP on the PH Relay board.
I swapped it and it blew instantly upon power up.
Never could find any fault.
It is now a parts machine that I am hesitant to use some boards from/Print Head...
