Paper Feeding Problems

Paper does not feed correctly.
The cassette or multi-purpose tray may contain too many sheets.
• Make sure the paper stack in the cassette or multi-purpose tray does not exceed the height of the length guide's
claws or the paper limit guide. (→ pp. 2-3, 2-6)
Paper may not be loaded correctly.
• Make sure the paper stack is loaded properly in the cassette or multi-purpose tray, and that the length guide of
the cassette and the slide guide of the multi-purpose tray is adjusted correctly. (→ pp. 2-3, 2-6)
Paper feeds skewed. (Printing is skewed.)
Paper may not be loaded correctly.
• Make sure the paper stack is loaded properly in the cassette or multi-purpose tray, and that the length guide of
the cassette and the slide guide of the multi-purpose tray is adjusted correctly. (→ pp. 2-3, 2-6)
• Make sure the paper exit path is clear.
Multiple sheets feed into the machine at the same time.
Paper may not be loaded correctly.

the cassette and the slide guide of the multi-purpose tray is adjusted correctly. (→ pp. 2-3, 2-6)
Sheets of paper may be sticking together.
• Be sure to fan the paper stack before loading it in the cassette or multi-purpose tray. This keeps the sheets of
paper from sticking together.

Different types of paper may be loaded in the cassette or multi-purpose tray.
• Load only one type of paper.
• Make sure you load paper that meets the paper requirements for the machine. (→ Chapter 2)
Transparencies do not feed correctly.
The transparencies are loaded in the cassette.
• Do not load transparencies in the cassette. Load them in the multi-purpose tray.
The transparencies may not be loaded in the multi-purpose tray correctly.
• Make sure they are loaded properly (→ p. 2-6). The transparencies should be loaded one by one in the multi-
purpose tray.
The transparencies for color copiers may be loaded in the multi-purpose tray.
• Do not use any transparencies for color copiers. They will cause a paper jam. Please use transparencies
recommended by Canon.
