HP 72SI, 98SI manual If you set the overprint distance to a smaller number

◆During Load Media, the printer locates two points on each of the leading, left, and right edges of the media. The printer uses these data points, and assumes 90- degree corners and parallel sides, to determine the skew of the media. If the media is skewed enough that an unprinted left or right edge may result, even with a mar- gin of 0 and the amount of overprinting specified, the control panel displays a message with the skew amount:

Fig. 3-24. Skew message

	Correct the skew by nudging the trailing edge of the
	media by the distance left or right as reported by the
	control panel, without releasing the pinch rollers. Allow
	the printer to measure the media again. Repeat until the
	skew is within tolerance.
Note	LEFT and RIGHT are defined as if facing the front of
	the printer: RIGHT is toward the control panel, LEFT
	is toward the opposite end.
Tip	If you set the overprint distance to a smaller number,
	there will be less skew tolerance before the printer
	reports too much skew. If you set a larger overprint
	distance, the printer will permit a greater amount of
	media skew before displaying the error message.
