Image skew on trusty old Ricoh AP3800cmf

[michel]

Hi.
I recently had to remove and unblock the magenta toner pump in my AP3800cmf, which operation was successful. However, after re-assembly the image is skewed on the page both in copy and print modes, and from all paper sources. I've adjusted the paper buckle in SP mode to its maximum, which has improved the situation, but the image still remains somewhat skewed.

Can anyone suggest what might be the cause? Prior to this, skew had never been an issue with this machine.

Thanks in anticipation ...

If memory serves, one has to lift the laser unit to get to the inards of the AP3800. Make sure that this was re-installed properly, as I would start there if the skew is coming from all trays.
