    Re: crooked master or crooked paper feed?

    I am having a similar problem on my RP3700 - all of my prints are skewed about 1/4". In some cases it causes the the image to go right off the page, as in this test print:


    I replaced my scraper rollers with a pair I had on another RP machine and had the same problem. I also replaced my stripper pad.

    could a slipping clutch cause this? something to do with the pickup roller? is there a part on the RP known to cause this?

    Thanks!

      Problem resolved!

      My first problem is that I was working from a Version 1 RP technical manual - which made no mention of the parallelism of the guide roller or the springs behind the paper-feed cover. I adjusted the parallelism and the right spring, and now it's printing pretty straight. Though, I am sure this is all just compensating for a master problem, it is working for now.
