Parallelogram skewed images appear on copies as shown.

Cause:

1) Bent image

The front side fusing pressure lever does not move up and down
smoothly and/or the paper feed unit position is not parallel to the OPC
drum position.

2) Paper skewing

The paper feed unit position is not parallel to the OPC drum position.

3) Optical skewing

The 4th/5th mirror position is not parallel to the OPC drum position.

Copy paper
