BEFORE YOU START: Familiarize yourself with the LaserWriter II Technical
Procedures. Be sure to follow proper ESD procedures.
Problem Description:
The image printed on the Laserwriter II is shifted or not placed properly on
the page.
Background Information:
There are three switches (SW201, SW202, SW203) which detect which size paper
cassette has been installed in the printer. If these switches become bent, or
are triggered incorrectly the image will shift on the page depending on the
cassette size the printer thinks is inserted. The image will be shifted down
and to the right on the paper. The amount of shift depends upon which cassette
the printer detects. For example, if the printer thinks it detects an A5
cassette then the image will be shifted down about 1/2" and to the right about
1/4". The built in print engine test is aligned perfectly on the page.
Cure:
#1: Straighten the microswitch arms or replace the entire microswitch assembly.
#2: Check the paper cassette for damage.
If this does not solve the problem refer to the LaserWriter II Technical
Procedures for further information.
