    HP Managed E60165 skewing issues

    I have a contract client with 25 HP managed E60165 printers. All were installed between January and October. The 3 last installs all have a skew from all trays (1-5) where the right side drops approximately 1/16". Per HP, I replaced lasers, reg assemblies and shutters. Nothing fixes the skew. This machine doesn't have a specific skew adjustment per the settings.
    Stop tests and paper paper path tests show the paper is feeding straight. The image is skewed.

    HP sent 3 new machine replacements after all repairs didn't work. All 3 new machines produce the same skew, new out of the box. I then decided to walk and test all 22 remaining machines on 4 floors of an office building. All 22 remaining machines produce the same or worse skew on the same side of the page.
    I tested from each tray on all machines.
    The odd thing is that a couple new machines produced a skew after page one prints. Then the skew stays.

    HP is saying the skew is within the machine range. But it's not acceptable for the client.

    This model is identical to the M607-610 series. I have worked on and sold 100's of these. I have never seen a skew new out of the box. Only after the machines are put through heavy use where feeders or reg assemblies need to be replaced does this appear on a few.

    Has anyone seen this before?

    Could it be something within the managed licensing or software?

    I've seen this a ton with the MFP version of this machine. Never been able to find out what the deal is with it, I've had numerous complaints about it and the best I can come up with is an apology. These things are junk.

      It's crazy. I haven't seen the M632 series have skewing issues. Even if it did, there is an adjustment that can specifically adjust for it.

      The HP tech sent me paperwork for adjusting the skew. The paperwork was for an M632. When I told him it wasn't the same machine and then proved the settings weren't the same, he then responded that it's within machine range.

      Something is missing from this build that should mimic the M632 series.

        That's really bizarre, you would think that the build would be the same. Any chance you could share the information to adjust the skew on the M632? I've never been able to find it within the machine settings.

          OLD post but I have seen skew. The feed plate (black) gets popped out of frame and causes this. Hard to find the first time.

          Hope this helps some one!
