are the paper guides positioned correctly?
The paper guides should be close to the edges of the paper in the input
tray, but must not bend the paper. Remove the paper, and then move the
left paper guide all the way to the left. Insert the paper, and then move the
front paper guide even with the paper. Move the left paper guide to the
edge of the paper.
