Solving Problems with Media Misfeeds

Cause
The front edges of
the media are not
even.
The media is moist
from humidity.
Scanner unit needs to
be opened and
closed again to reset
the machine.
Some media remains
misfed in the
machine.
Unsupported media
(wrong size, thick-
ness, type, etc.) is
being used.
Media is still being
misfed.
Solution
Remove the media and even up the
front edges, then reload it.
Remove the moist media and replace it
with new, dry media.
Open and close the scanner unit
again.
Check the media path again to make
sure that you have removed all of the
misfed media.
Use KONICA MINOLTA-approved
media. See "Print Media" on page 3-2.

nolta.com for a complete list of cur-
rently approved media.

cled paper can be autoduplexed if the
media type is set properly in the driver.
Make sure that you have not mixed
media types in the tray.

head, postcards or thick stock.
Check the media path inside the
duplex again to make sure that you
have removed all of the misfed media.
