1 TROUBLESHOOTING FOR THE HARDWARE
16 Clearing a Paper Misfeed
If paper misfeeds occur frequently
The following are the common causes of paper misfeeds. If the problem persists, check for the following situations.
y An unsuitable original is placed on the Reversing Automatic Document Feeder.
y Paper unsuitable for the equipment is used.
y Paper sizes are not consistent between the size in a drawer or the bypass tray and the size registered in the
equipment.
y All the misfed paper has not been removed.
y There is too little or too much of a gap between the paper and the side guide in the drawer.
y The amount of paper placed in a drawer exceeds the limit indicated on its side guide.
y Stiff and thick paper is used for duplex copying or printing. (This may occur only when A4, LT or smaller paper is set in
a portrait direction. In this case, set the paper in a landscape direction or reverse the front and back sides of the paper.)
