Paper Feed Problems on Main Machine
Frequent Paper Misfeeds
Coated or another type of unsupported paper is loaded in the machine's tray.
Load paper not supported by the machine's paper tray (Trays 1-2) in the wide LCT or another paper
tray supporting the paper.
The side fences in the paper tray are too close together.
If the distance between the side fences is less than the paper width, it may interfere with paper transfer
and so cause paper misfeeds.
Adjust the side fences to match the paper width.
When you close the paper tray, the side fences may become misaligned due to the weight of the paper.
To prevent this, close the paper tray slowly.
The side fences in the paper tray are too far apart.
If the side fences are too far apart, paper misfeeds may occur due to wrong paper size detection.
Adjust the side fences to match the paper width.
The paper size/orientation/type is not specified correctly.
In tray paper settings, specify the size, orientation, and type of the paper in use.
Too many sheets of paper are loaded in the paper tray.
When loading paper, do not exceed the limit.
The edges of the sheets are rough.
Turn the sheets the other way up or smooth the edges before loading.
Sheets are curled or wavy.

Flatten curls and waviness before loading paper.

Turn the sheets the other way up or smooth the edges before loading.

Stacking too many sheets may cause the sheets on top to curl greatly. If this happens, reduce the
number of stacked sheets.
Sheets absorbed moisture and became limp.
Sheets that will not be used for a long time should be protected from moisture by, for example, storing
them in a sealed bag.
If the machine is plugged in, the heater inside the paper tray starts operating when the main power is
off to prevent sheets from absorbing moisture.
