Thanks, I will take a look at those links (probably tomorrow) and I'll try to get a better look inside as well.

Whoa, a printer thread....

That model has a single pickup roller, it is usually included when you buy a fuser 'kit'. However, the pickup roller would have nothing to do with bending a corner of the paper. More likely that the paper is either not loaded properly, the paper size indicator adjuster in the tray is pushed a little too tight, or there is a very small piece of paper still stuck in the printer.

I'm guessing you already got it sorted out tho. 3600's are pretty solid.

See what happens? We throw two of them a year at you and you're too busy off flooding rotary engines to notice them

It doesn't matter if the paper is fed through the tray or the manual feeder, if it goes through all the way, the corner folds over.

No, still don't have it sorted. I had a flashlight looking at every nook and cranny I could see that might have a teeny-tiny bit of paper lodged, but found nothing.

Tiny pieces of paper will sometimes cause it to jam, but usually won't cause a corner to fold over. My money is on the fuser. To find out for sure, print a configuration page but open the front door of the printer before the page reaches the fuser and see if the corner is folded already (I'm assuming the corner gets folded every time a page is printed?).

The only other thing that is common to both trays that could make the corner fold is the transfer belt. Have a look at the same side of the transfer belt that the pages are folding, there's a small black roller at the bottom of the transfer belt that occasionally collects rogue pieces of labels.

Even if I wasn't busy doing that I probably still wouldn't have noticed the threads for a few days. I usually scroll straight down to the good parts of the forums, the only time I notice the stuff in between is if the page takes an extra second or two to load.
