Skew Adjustment (Lct Only) - Minolta Di551 Service Manual

[5] Skew adjustment (LCT only)

Caution: Skew adjustment is required when the
paper supplied from the current tray is
different from the paper supplied from
other trays in the way it is skewed.
However, this adjustment has little
effect because skew of paper supplied
from all trays is corrected in the sec-
ond paper feed unit.

Reference: The indicated size of each guide

may cause paper skew depending
on the paper type. To reduce this
skew, press the guide plates (front
and rear) against paper tightly.
