The skew adjustment levers are found in all paper trays. These levers are used to improve paper feed accuracy and to reduce paper skew problems.


Note: These levers should remain in their default position (position zero). The position of these levers should be changed only if there is a skew problem when running a specific print job and/or media type. Changing the levers may cause more skew problems when running certain media types such as coated, label, transparency and film.


Default position (position zero):
Default Skew Position Zero (rear)   Default Image Position Zero (side)
