    I completely understand. You probably better off using your 700i for duplexing any future jobs.

    We have a large inventory of parts. Message me if you decide to replace and want to save some cash.

      Pull out the 2 lower trays and maybe tray 2 as we'll if you can, if you look in the bottom of the machine on the right side you should be able to see the sheets enter the lower part of duplex path, make sure there are no scraps of paper or obstructions, you may get some clues of skew problem by running mc and watching the sheets enter and leaving this area.

      If you think inverter section is at fault you could try, remove any finishing device(make sure mc powered off 1st) run a job single sided but run it face down (can be copy job if easier) run stock your having issue with. Watch the sheet very closely as it comes out of mc exit. If there is any tracking off as sheet comes out could well be an inverter issue. The door can get slightly twisted or you can try nip roller re alignment. If not replace inverter.

      hope this helps

        Yes this was very helpful, I removed the finisher tray and removed the right side door cover and watched the paper run as 1 sided face down. It looks to be happening right after it passes the rollers. The only issue now is that I'm not sure if it is inverter 1 or 2 rollers.

          It may just be that the nip release rollers (in the door that swings open) need adjusting, there are 2 procedures for this depending on weather you have an early inverter or a later one, can also be a little technique sensitive to set correctly, probably best to get a tech to set up for you.

            I believe that it might be the older inverter, there is no adjusting screw. Bummer
            Thanks a lot for your help and feed back.
