SKEW ADJUSTMENT
Skew is defined as the direction in which the paper is traveling through the web and can vary from right to left.
The direction of the paper can be controlled with feed tire pressure. Usually, the direction is controlled by
which ever feed tire has the most downward pressure on the feed roller. It is recommended to adjust only one
feed tire at a time. Making adjustments to both feed tires at the same time will cause you to spend more time
attempting to control the skew.
