My CLP-500 starts printing >2cm too far down the page. The information towards the bottom of a page consequently overflows the paper. The service manual suggests this is caused by a bad feed sensor actuator but I haven't a clue where that's located. Any help in guiding me to a solution would be appreciated.
Thanks but that won't help. The 2cm is inconsistent. This is a mechanical paper feed problem not a software problem.Thanks but that won't help. The 2cm is inconsistent. This is a mechanical paper feed problem not a software problem.

Clean the feed roller.
Remove the paper tray, from the bottom there is a grey rubber semi wheel in the middle front of where the paper tray would be. Use a cloth with WD-40, brake cleaner, or lighter fluid to lightly wipe the rubber clean. Put the paper tray back in and it should print.
check the header and top margin in your application. (word, Note pad, etc..)
default top margin for Microsoft word is 1".
also check the orientation of the printer output.
Per the user manual you should try using manual feed, loading one piece of paper at a time into the try and then following the on screen directions(whould be press the stop button once after paper loaded), find attached a image showing how to set up the manual feed
1. Turn the printer off and open the access cover. 2. Look for any obstructions in the paper path and remove them if necessary. (It is possible to move the carrier assembly with the power off.) 3. Turn the printer on, load some paper, and press the Form Feed button. (On the X83, press the Select button.) 4. Watch the paper as it feeds through and try to determine where the jam is occurring. 5. Check to see if all the rollers are turning.
If all the rollers are turning, there may be something in the feed path that you can't see. Go to step 6. If not, there is probably a feed motor or a gear problem and the printer may require service. 6. If the paper is jamming under the carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot. 7. Turn the printer off. 8. Take a #10 envelope and feed it through the left side of the manual feed slot until it comes right through the printer to the back of the exit rollers. 9. Move it up and down first, and then slowly move it over to the right side. If something is stuck under the black guide plate, this may work it loose.
