<If two or more misfeeds occur in a day for the same tray>
1. Set the separation pressure level for the tray to level 2 by moving the adjuster one level from
the default position toward you.
<If two or more misfeeds occur in a day for the same tray with separation pressure level 2 set>
1. Set the separation pressure level for the tray to level 3 by moving the adjuster one level from
the default position toward you.
<If two or more misfeeds occur in a day for the same tray with separation pressure level 3 set>
1. Replace the paper feed roller in the tray.
• If the separation pressure level is high, multi-feed may occur. Set an appropriate separation
pressure level according to the status of each tray so that no misfeed or multi-feed occur.
Special or coated paper is used.
• Is the airflow powerful enough?
The factory-set airflow of the three-tray wide LCT may not be strong enough to separate the sheets.
Increase the airflow.
<If custom paper is used>
1. Select [Machine: Paper Feed / Output] in [Advanced Settings] for the custom paper in
use, select 1301: [3-Tray LCIT] and increase the value in [Fan Level].
<If custom paper is not used>
1. In the [Main Unit: Paper Feed/ Output] group on the [Adjustment Settings for Operators]
menu, increase the value in 0306: [Wide LCT: Fan Level].
• Is the tab fence attached?
By attaching the tab fence, you can prevent air from leaking at the trailing edge of the paper and
improve separation.
For details about attaching the tab fence, see "Preparation" supplied with the machine.
• Is the paper feed roller covered with paper dust?
Paper dust on the surface of coated paper may reduce the traction of the paper feed roller and
cause paper misfeeding due to paper slippage or insufficient separation.
By cleaning the paper feed roller, the frictional force can be restored so that paper misfeeding will
not occur.
For details about cleaning the paper feed roller of the wide LCT, see page 106 "Cleaning the
Paper Feed Path". Two-tray wide LCT does not have paper feed rollers.
An envelope is used.
Depending on the type of envelope, air trapped inside may be squeezed out when the paper feed roller
picks up the envelope and cause slippage leading to a misfeed.
