Summary

Problem

Printing on my old Kyocera FS-1020 works without any issues but the page alignment is often wrong. Pages have a variable offset, there is no correlation from one page to another. Some pages start with a negative offset, some with positive offset, sometimes as big as centimeters.

Cause

The cause are damping elements (small sponges) that are having a glue like effect on the movement of the pieces that control when the printing begins. There are 3 solenoids and most probably all of them need to be cleaned up.

Solution

Disassemble the printer

.. in order to get to the elements involved.

Replace the dampers

Mount back the printer
