Solution
Something may be obstructing the paper
feed, like an object on top of the paper
stack or a cable caught on the paper.
Make sure that nothing prevents the
smooth flow of paper and position the
paper so that it feeds straight in line with
the sprockets.
The supply of paper may be too far from
the printer. Position the paper supply so
that it is less than three feet or one meter
away.
The paper may be caught on the edge
guides. When using continuous paper,
make sure that the paper guide is lowered
over the paper and that the edge guides
are moved to the center of the paper's
width. See Chapter 2.
The pull tractor and push tractor
sprockets are not aligned correctly. When
using both tractors, be sure that the
sprockets on both are positioned evenly.
See Chapter 5.
