Loading and Squaring the Media

Under Menu > Printer Settings > Media Measure Type, choose Maximal for greatest precision and skew detection when printing edge-to-edge. It measures the width of the media in two places, and finds the front edge in two places to estimate skew and detect non-rectangular sheets. The printer will report if the media appears to be skewed and therefore will not feed straight through the print zone. If the media is not actually skewed, one or more of its edges may not be parallel to each other.

Load the media as described in “Loading Rigid Media,” earlier in this chapter.

If the printer discovers that the media is skewed, you can reposition most media without releasing the pinch rollers by nudging the trailing edge right or left to correct the skew.
