If you are printing to the straight-through output path, close and open the door again to make sure that the green release levers are closed.

If you are using the automatic two-sided printing feature, make sure that the media indicator is set to the correct paper size.

Print is skewed (crooked)

A small amount of skew is normal and might become obvious when using preprinted forms.

See Page skew for more information.

Adjust the media guides to the width and length of the media that you are using and try reprinting. See Media paths or Loading media into the input trays for more information.

The media input tray might be too full. See Loading media into the input trays for more information.

Make sure that the media is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged.

Try paper from a new ream. Do not fan the paper before loading it into the input tray.

The printer separation pad might be worn. See Changing the printer separation pad for more information.
