Hello,
I noticed that my print job on ceres came out printed crooked on the page.
There is a problem with tray 3 that is causing this (and I suspect may
also cause it to jam sometimes).
If you look at where the paper rests in the tray, you'll notice that the
paper can slide from end to end in the tray. There is an adjustment to
prevent this, but when you put it in the right postion (for LTR) there is
still endplay. Notice that when you move the adjustment, _both_ ends of
the tray slide.
The problem is that the ends are not the right distance from each other.
If you pull up the metal base that lifts the paper and look under it,
you'll see that there are gears in the middle that cause one end to move
when the other moves. These gears are probably off by one tooth, which is
causing the ends to be that much farthur apart then they should be. This
should be easily fixable with a screwdriver. It may help the printer if
you do that. =)
Thanks,
Travis
