    Taskalpha 3050ci skewed copy

    Taskalpha 3050ci with 50k is making skewed copy from cassette 1 on glossy paper but only when the cassette is full. Half full work fine. I took the paper feed ass'y apart, clean the pulleys and the one way bearing and it's still doing it.....
    Any suggestions...???

    Ah! The joys of glossy media! Don't forget the multifeeds.

    You'll get the best results from the MP tray, which is to say not great. Glossy media is a PITA on most MFP's. It skew, jams, multifeeds, toner blisters off, ... did I miss anything? In the best of all worlds don't use glossy media at all. If you have to:
    1) clean the rollers frequently
    2) feed from the MP tray
    3) use the correct media type setting on the machine, and in the print driver.
    4) use semi-gloss laser paper, not full glossy, not inkjet paper.
    5) and expect a lot of service calls just for that. You can expect premature failure of drums, fusers, and feed rollers. Write any service contracts to take this into account.
    =^..^=
    If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
    1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
    2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
    3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
    4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
    5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.
