    Most of the time I see skew from the glass on any of the Ricoh copiers that have the 'hanging' scanner bed where the front left side of the scan bed is unsupported is due to the scanner frame being bent down.

    What I do is lift up on the front left corner of the scanner (Yes, I'm bending or tweaking the frame) with varying degrees of force. Usually, it takes very little to tweak the frame so don't over-do it. Make frequent test copies to check results.

          I figure, if they bent it to break it, you can un-bend it to fix it, right? I didn't see the date the first time around, must have been a duplicate post to start out with.
