more information.

Make sure that the media size and page orientation that are selected in the software

The software program might be the source of the problem. On Starter CD 1, see the
readme file for known software conflicts. Otherwise, check your software program
documentation, or contact the software manufacturer for more specific help for this
problem.

Make sure that the media width and length adjusters fit snugly but gently against the
edges of the stack.
For tray 1, make sure that no more than 150 sheets of media (up to 15 mm or 0.6 inch,
stacked) are loaded in the tray. Tray 1 can hold a maximum of 30 transparencies. See
Loading the print media for more information.
For tray 2, make sure that no more than 250 sheets of plain paper (up to 25 mm or
1 inch, stacked) are loaded in the tray. See Loading the print media for more
information.

z Check the settings
The page orientation selected might not be correct for the document that you are
printing. See Changing settings for the all-in-one for more information.
If the text or graphics are cut off at the edges of the page, make sure that the margin
settings for the document match or exceed the minimum margins for the all-in-one. See
Minimum margins for more information.
