When using the tractor feed, the paper guide should be
horizontal.
If the two sides of the paper are out of alignment realign

Misalignment of the sprockets, making the paper too

other obstacles obstructing its path. The paper should
also be feeding straight into the printer, and an angled
feed may cause iams and blockages.
