BENT CORNERS (DOG EARS) ON
LEAD EDGE OF NARROW MEDIA
PROBLEM
Bent lead edge corners (dog ears) on "A" (A4)
and "B (A3) -short edge feed" size media may
occur on some 8830's. This happens
primarily when close to the end of the media
roll when the curl is the worst.
CAUSE
This problem occurs in the media transport at
the point where the media turns and meets the
registration roll shaft. Because there is no
registration feed roll in this area of the
transport, the media catches the edge of the
inner extrusion of the media transport.
SOLUTION
Order a dog ear repair kit 600K62600, remove
the transport and install mylar strips in the
area shown in the illustration.
The registration roil and transport design was
changed to add an additional set of
registration feed rolls (Tag 12). Some early
machine with this tag did not get marked on
the tag matrix. This transport may be identified
in the following manner, without removing it
from the machine:
1. Open the cutter drawer.
2. Check the left side of the transport. If the
label is marked "12 roll" this kit is not
needed and something else in the media
path is causing the problem.
