Printing slanted, not parallel to the top of pa

Hello all,

My printer started printing slanted. Printing on a blank page is mostly unnoticeable, but if printing labels the ones on the right are unusable as part of the printing will fall out of the labels bottom margin.

To illustrate the issue, if lets say I use top margin 1" and print an horizontal line, the left (start) of the line will be 1"from the top of the page, but the right (end) will be 1 1/4" from the top of the page.

Any idea what is causing the problem and how to fix it?

Thank you.

Hi,

I'm wondering if you are having a paper feed problem. Here is a link to the User Manual, scroll down to p.71 which shows how to clean the paper pick up rollers.

I have the same problem on my MFC-9970CDW, but the printing on the left margin is perfect. I don't see how it could be a paper feed problem. Vertical lines are perfect. Horizontal lines are slanted.

It sounds like one of the rollers in the printer might be going bad, which would cause one side to feed faster or slower depending on which side it is. Typically when I see this in the field, it is caused by dust or something else caught in the gears, belt, or the roller itself. Pull that sucker apart and see what you can clean out.

If that doesn't resolve it, you may need to find a way to recalibrate it. That user manual that Jayeff linked to you should have some information on that.
