4. Troubleshooting Paper Delivery Problems

Paper Skew

Depending on the cause of the problem, do one of the following:
The side fences in the paper tray are too far apart.
If the side fences are too far apart, the paper may misfeed.
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.
For details about loading paper, see "Loading Paper", Paper Specifications and Adding Paper.
A scrap of paper or some other small fragment is jammed in the paper feed path.
Remove the fragment.
For details about cleaning the paper feed path, see page 84 "Cleaning the Paper Feed Path".
