Keep in mind also that a "slight" taper result is common on all jointers.

Not on mine.

Jointers are not used to create parallel surfaces, only straight and flat
surfaces. The TS should be used to make the opposite edge smooth and
parallel.

Only to take it out of parallel at the jointer??

Try running a board edge on your jointer 15 to 20 times and see if the edges
are still parallel.
