phaser 3635

Just bought around 15 of these off lease , some with less then 20k, and they all seem to skew on the second side in duplex..some worse then others, cleaned and checked every guide and roller doesnt seem to help, has anyone seen this , im assuming its a common problem since pretty much all of these machines do it to some extent, thanks for any input

Re: phaser 3635

Might be worth checking with the Samsung techs. I have a couple of these out there as well and will check for that problem.

Similar to Samsung SCX-5835FN; Similar to Samsung SCX-5935FN

Re: phaser 3635

I don't know about the skew but here is a tip for these machines when it comes to jamming:
Eventually every one of these machines will have a jamming problem due to the paper feed and registration solenoids sticking. The machine uses a wrap spring clutch and solenoid system. The solenoids have cushion on each side of the plate to keep noise down. These pads get tacky after a few years and the plate will stick to it causing the solenoid to stay open or stay closed (sticks on both ends). You can either remove the pads (and clean off any adhesive) or what also works is taking a small piece of tape and cutting it to fit and place it on the pad. The glue from the tape and the stickiness of the pad will keep it in place and no more sticking plate. To get to the solenoids you have to remove the left side cover, remove the main board, remove the main drive unit. Make sure to remember the position of the solenoids because it is actually possible to install them backwards. There are also 2 solenoids in the doc feeder that do the same thing and can be fixed the same way.

Seems like every box I've worked on with that type of cushioning has (had) that issue. "When will they ever learn..."
