8518A, new out of box CQ issue

[Rusty.Harris]

Out of the box, ONLY through the DSDF, operator side has from the edge to about 2" a shadow, similar as if the DSDF isn't
laying flat. Did a complete realign of the DSDF, hinge height etc. No change. Checked the optics, nothing found.
Just looking around, one of the do not touch RED screws on the front edge of the optics frame was loose and you could
wiggle it around. After several tries, that must have been the issue. Probably the 2nd time in 30 years I've touched one
of the do not touch RED screws.

Good catch!

Just yesterday I was repairing a shredded DF mylar (Konica Minolta DF702). To get the guide off I had to strip the feed unit, and removed (5) of those red painted screws. If it had been operable, I might have tried to rip off the damaged portion of the mylar, but it wouldn't pass a single page (it had to be disassembled). I did circle the screw heads with a Sharpie, so I could get it back as close as possible. Apparently those mylars are not a consumable part.
