is transferred with its flap open.
Disable skew detection function.

In [Advanced Settings] for the custom paper you are using, set 014: [Skew Detection] to [Off].
<If custom paper is not used>
In the [Machine: Image Position] group on the [Adjustment Settings for Operators] menu, set 0305:

your service representative.

Double Feeding

Depending on the cause of the problem, do one of the following:
Have you ruffled the paper sufficiently?
Double feeding may result if the paper is not ruffled properly.
Remove the paper, ruffle it, and reload it.
For details about ruffling the paper, see "Fanning the Paper", Preparation.
The edges of the sheets are rough.
Turn the sheets the other way up or smooth the edges before loading.
Is the Pickup Assist setting enabled?
If the Pickup Assist function operates too much, it may cause double feeding with coated paper.
By disabling the Pickup Assist setting, you can prevent double feeding.

In [Advanced Settings] for the custom paper you are using, set 110: [Pickup Assist Setting] to [Off].
<If custom paper is not used>
