Skewed (Optical) Copy Image - Ricoh FT5535 Service Manual

1.10 SKEWED (OPTICAL) COPY IMAGE

- Problem -
The copy image is skewed (into a parallelogram shape).
The sides of the copy image are straight, but the
leading and trailing edges are skewed.
(This differs from skewing originating in the paper
path.)
- Possible Causes -
1. The 1st and 2nd scanners are positioned incorrectly.
2. The 3rd scanner is not parallel with the 1st and 2nd scanners.
3. The mirrors are in the wrong position.
4. The stubs of the 3rd scanner are off the rails.
- Action -
Are the 1st and 2nd scanners properly positioned ?
Yes No
Reposition the scanners correctly.
Is each mirror positioned correctly on its scanner?
Yes No
Reposition the mirror correctly. If the spring plates are defective,
replace them.
Are the stubs of the 3rd scanner assembly off the rails?
No Yes
Put the scanner assembly stubs back on the rails.
Readjust the height of the 3rd scanner by turning the adjusting screw.
