3.Paper Delivery Problems

Cause
Paper skew is corrected by pressing the paper against the rotary gate of the paper transport unit. After
that, the registration gate roller rotates, grips the paper, and feeds it to the transport roller. Feeding is
done by making use of the paper stiffness. Therefore, when stiffness is low, the leading edge of the
paper may not be able to keep up with the rotation of the registration gate roller, and thus results in
paper skew.
Solution
Using SP1-032-001 to -003 (Rotary Gate HP Adjustment) (Thick 0 to 2), adjust the home position of the
rotary gate so that it is nearer to the roller nip.
The default value of is "0". Change the value from "0" to "4" or "3".
Use SP1-004-001 to -003 (Reg Buckle Adj) to adjust the amount of buckle.
ï‚· When thick paper (Thickness 3 or thicker) is used, the leading edge of the paper may hit the
roller nip before reaching the registration gate. In such a case, the skew correction may not be
effective.
