I see in your first post that you are using a speed square. Those will only have a 6' or 8" leg to rest on the outfeed table. Instead, use the 24" leg of a framing square. Much better contact with the outfeed table. Ideally, the blades should just kiss the square.

The other thing to check would be whether the infeed and outfeed tables are parallel to each other. Clamp a straight edge to the rear table and extending over the front table. Use feeler gauges or shim stock to determine that the table is the same distance below the straightedge at the outer edge as it is next to the cutter head.
