Follow the procedure below to check for paper skew after installation.

  1. Go into the SP mode, open SP2-109-003 and print Test Pattern #14. This is the Trim Pattern.
  2. At the top of the SP mode screen, touch “Copy Screen” to go into the copy mode (the copy screen appears).
  3. Make sure at least three sheets of paper are set for copying, and then print three sheets.

  4. Check the placement of the Trim Pattern on the sheets as shown below.
    Case 1: Image Skewed to the Front
    Measure the amount of skew. This is the difference between A and B.

    Up to four shims stacked at one point can be used to correct paper skew.



    If the amount of skew (difference between A and B) is 1 mm and there is only one LCIT RT5100 in the line, insert two shims at the rear [A] as shown.

    If the amount of skew (difference between A and B) is 1 mm and there are two LCITs RT5100 in the line, insert two shims at the rear [A] as shown on the left side of the upstream LCIT.
