False Paper Skew

s

It was an ongoing problem with several 3880's, and then I came to realize how touchy the

the paper feed can be - especially if you feed paper from the real (on sheet at a time).

Finally I discovered that slowly feed it, and gently pressing the paper against the right edge -

(Left edge if you stand behind the printer when the paper is feeding. So you start holding at

that edge as you're feeding the paper into the printer. At one point it will start feeding it'self, at

which point you can let it go. Not until that moment, do I press the "Print" button to make the file

start printing. It seems to work very well now. The other suggestion, if you are using somewhat

heavy paper (310 or 315 gm): There's a manual way at control buttons, to pick a change in the

Platton gap. For this thickness paper, it should be on Wide, (one position beyond normal (or regular)???

However, I haven't noticed skews with either position, as long as the feed stays where I suggested.

Good luck!

Has anyone found a way to override a paper skew alert for a 3800/3880?
