Reduce the value to increase the detection level.
This will allow the machine to report a paper misfeed and stop printing even for a slight skew.
False Paper Skew Detection
Take the appropriate action according to the cause of the problem.
Envelopes are loaded
When printing on envelopes with slanted flaps, a skew may be wrongly detected when the envelopes
are fed with their flaps open.
In such a case, disable the skew detection function.
When using as a custom paper:
In Advanced Settings for the custom paper in use, set Skew Detection to Off. (1341-03)
When not using as a custom paper:
On the Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators menu, select Machine: Paper Feed/Output, and set
Skew Detection to Off. (SP1-021-001 to 013: Skew Detect Tray <number>
 Disabling the skew detection function will allow skewing. If this is not acceptable to the client,
contact the product specialist.
Paper Skew with Vacuum Feed LCIT
Cause
Measures to correct paper skew at the main machine are not as effective with thick paper (Thickness 5
or thicker) that is fed from the vacuum feed LCIT. This could cause images to be cut off at either end.
Solution
Take the following measures to correct skew in this case.
 If only one vacuum feed LCIT is installed, insert a shim behind the docking bracket to correct the
skew.
 If there is more than one vacuum feed LCITs, insert a shim behind the connection bracket of the
bridge unit before the vacuum feed LCIT that is skewing.
 Each skew correction shim is 1.0 mm thick. Inserting one shim is equivalent to about 0.25 mm/100
mm of correction in paper skew.
 The shims for skew correction are provided fastened to the bottom frame of the LCIT behind
the front door.
Skew (Paper With Low Stiffness)
Skew occurs when using thin paper or paper with short grain.
The skew level is about 1–3 mm/200 mm, and varies.
