Problem Solving  
1. Printing misaligns toward the bottom of my form (skews). 
 Ensure the LEFT paper guide is squared by sliding it all the way to the 
right against the paper rack stop. 
 Take your time in properly aligning the form, being sure to slide it in until it 
stops against the feed rollers. The printer beeps up to 3 times (default is 
one beep). 
2. Frequent Paper Jams.  
 Flatten any curl at the leading edge of the form by folding it in the opposite 
direction. The...

15. The last characters of a line are printing on the next line below and at the far 
left of cut sheet forms. 
 Verify menu item # 7 RIGHT PAGE WDTH is set to NO. This is the factory 
default value. 
 Move the left paper guide so the paper loads further to the left by at least 
the number of characters printing on the wrong line. Maximum print line 
width is attained when the left edge of the paper is aligned to
