HP LaserJet 4 paper wrinkles
Richard W. Heckbert
I don't know if I should be posting this here but I thought maybe one
of you may have run into this problem before.
The lab I run is using a couple of networked HP LaserJet 4s as
the primary output devices. Approximately 2 out of every 10 sheets come
out with the bottom 1 or 2 inches very wrinkled. Almost like the paper
was starting to jam but didn't. I've talked to other LaserJat 4 owners
who say the same thing happens to them. I've tried different papers to
no avail. It continued after we replaced the toner cartridges also.
Pehaps there is a roller problem similar to the DeskJets? Any help would
be appreciated.

Contact HP. There is a known problem with the paper handling on early
production serial numbers of the HP LJ4.

We have three networked HP Laserjet 4M Pluses, and two are nearing
200,000 copies in just six months. I have seen virtually none of the
above problem (less than one sheet in a thousand). They have been fast,
efficient, and dependable, period.

Usually when I encounter this problem, it is paperdust on the back
rollers. Clean them with alcohol and a lint free cloth.

We had the same trouble for a while with our laserjet 4, and cleaning the
fuser rolls and surrounding area solved the problem. It seems that an
accumulation of sticky stuff has skewing the paper sometimes as it went through.
Hope this helps in your case.
