ACK the automatic paper feeder!

[Twisted Logic]

Dear [H]ard|Forum community,

I am in desperate need of assitance. My printer, an Epson Stylus C80 isn't working correctly. While the problem sounds simple (the automatic paper feeding mechanism is feeding the paper in at a bizzare angle) I have no idea what to do to fix it.

If you would lend me your help I would greatly appreciate it!

your feed mechanism is out of alignment or damaged (as if you did not know that already.)
with higher end printers you could get a repair kit, but since this is an inkjet, you prolly wont be able to get one - they'll suggest you buy a new printer.
double check and see if you can tell a difference in how high ths roller bar is - see if anything is jammed or visibly out of alinement.
try this url for support and ask epson directly.

If for some reason the links dont work go to epson.com and put "stylus c80" in the search field and scroll down to "epson Stylus C80: Inkjet printers" and click.

best of luck
