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.
