Has anybody seen this? I have a C3503 that puts a V shaped fold on the lead edge of copy approximately 4" from top. It is very intermittent. It happens pre-fuser since the folds are pressed flat. I had this same issue a couple years ago but I cannot remember what caused it (Geezer Brains). See attachment.

update:
this week, it happened to me on an mpc2503, same problem, on the additional lower drawer, PB3160, practically the door (D6932601) did not close perfectly, I realized it because I held it with my hand pressed, the problem did not, I added, a plastic washer as a thickness between the external white cover (D6932651) and the internal black one (D6932652), solved.
probabilmete is a deformation of the metal frame due to the transport, the machines without box are easily damaged by transporting them with a trolley inserted underneath, in the company we will see to move those without box by inserting a wooden table as a base, obviously the problem does not exist if the machine has a wooden cabinet

THEY got real cheap with the metal on the 03 series..
I had more issues with bent tray 4 bottom corner frame than i care to think about..
If the machine was move off a truck via a ramp the corner would hit and bend..
Sometimes you cant even get tray 4 in or out..........

OK, Geezer brains. What was the solution?

If I see someone even attempt to put a two-wheel cart under a machine for moving, I quickly run over, and just as quickly smack the shit out of them! Have had too many machines with drawer 4 stuck. Easy solution is to yank the drawer out and just step down on the metal frame to straighten it (flimsy stuff).
