spc 232sf adf skewing

[totoro]

Hi All,

I was just sent to work on one of these for the first time. The originals are skewing in the adf. The skew gets progressively worse as the set is fed until the outboard edge crashes into the guide as the paper goes down to the glass. I cleaned all the rollers and nothing looks out of place, but I can't get it to stop skewing. Anyone have any experience with these? Any advice much appreciated. TIA

If nothing is caught in paper path (paper clip). Check the sensor pads. Some Ricoh adfs sensor reflect off this black pads, paper dust gets on them, take a black sharpie and darken this pads. If it dosen't have them, then the paper caughting on something. Good Luck.
