Paper feeding

If cut sheet paper (without the ASF) is not feeding smoothly, check the following:

1Check

Is the paper release lever pushed back (to the C posi- tion)?

Is the paper guide in place and vertical?

Are the left and right guides too close together?

1 Possible remedv

Set the release lever to the c position.

The paper guide should be in place vertically for cut sheets to feed smoothly.

If the left and right guides are too close together, the paper will not feed smoothly. Move them a little further apart to allow the paper to feed freely.

Are the holes on each side of the paper aligned with regard to each other in the sprock- ets?

Possible remedv

Make sure the release lever is pushed to the 6 posi- tion.

When using the tractor feed, the paper guide should be horizontal.

If the two sides of the paper are out of alignment, realign them so that the sprocket holes match up.

Misalignment of the sprockets, making the paper too loose or too’tight, will prevent a smooth paper feed.
