    KM-C3225E stretch and shrink problem

    Has problem in color or black. Copy or print jobs. I've ruled out the scanner. When I went it messed up every 50-100 roughly, with no real pattern. Running Letter, the machine outputs a copy/print with a band of stretched image all the way down the page about a half an inch wide then about 3 inches over it compensates for that by shrinking the image down so that by the time it get to the edge of the page, it is correct again. Crazy. I was thinking some kind of clutch going bad like the conveying clutch. Someone else I talked to said it could be a small rip or tear on the belt itself catching on the blade. I have no scrap belt unit or parts to swap, I just need to order a fix. This post is just to see if anyone else has seen this problem in their machines. Ideas are welcome.

    I have examples but couldnt put them on here for some reason. email me for example.
