HP LaserJet II/III Paper Feed Skewed/Twisted

FREE

Difficulty Level (1=easy, 10=difficult): 1


Tools Needed
Symptoms: The paper in the paper tray is skewed and twisted as it goes into the printer (see picture below.) If you feed paper from the manual feed slot, the paper feeds fine.

Cause: The corner tab on the paper tray is bent down. This is usually caused by pressing down on the paper when loading the tray.

None Solution: Locate the metal corner tab on the tray (right rear corner as you pull it out of the printer.) Originally, the corner tab should have a slight bent angle at the tip. Due to improper paper loading, the corner tab might be bent more than usual. Use your fingers to bend the tab back to a horizontal position (the tip still should have a bent angle.)
