VP-540 prints slightly shorter in length lately

[paulmin]

My VP 540 is about 12 years old now and I have noticed that for some time now the prints are a bit shorter on the feed side. It is maybe around the 5% - 8% mark.

Has anybody have an idea of what can be causing it or is there an adjustment to be done?

When last have you done a print advance/print size calibration on the printer? There's a few things that can "go out", but doing these calibrations would be my first step.

Also, how old are the rollers? They can get smaller/distorted over time causing issues even if you get the calibration set up perfectly.
