Paper may not be loaded correctly.
• Make sure the paper stack is loaded properly in the multi-purpose tray, and that the paper
guide is adjusted correctly (see p. 1-7).
❏ Paper is loaded skewed. (Printing is skewed.)
Paper may not be loaded correctly.
• Make sure the paper stack is loaded properly in the multi-purpose tray, and that the paper
guide is adjusted correctly (see p. 1-7).
• Make sure the right edge of the paper stack is aligned with the right side of the multi-
purpose tray and the paper guide is aligned with the left edge of the stack (see p. 1-7).
• Make sure the paper exit path is clear.
❏ Multiple sheets load into the fax at the same time.

❏ Repeated paper jams occur.
The paper you are using may be causing the jams.
• Be sure to fan the paper stack before loading it in the multi-purpose tray. This keeps the
sheets of paper from sticking together (see p. 1-7).
• Check that the paper you are using and your printing environment are within the
specifications of the fax (see pp. 1-6, 3-3, S-1).
• Try loading a fresh stack of paper in the multi-purpose tray.
