Parts of original do not appear 
or are cut off. Is your original positioned correctly? Check the 
location of your original.
 Is the original larger than the paper size in the input 
tray?
- Verify that you are copying to the same size 
paper as the original. This problem is most 
common when trying to copy a legal-size 
original onto letter-size paper.
- Verify that you have selected the proper paper 
size for your project. Make sure that you have 
loaded the correct paper size in the input tray 
and that the input tray is properly installed.
 Are the paper guides positioned correctly? The 
paper guides should be close to the edges of the 
paper in the input tray, but must not bend the 
paper. Remove the paper, move the left guide all the 
way to the left, insert the paper, move the front 
guide to the correct position for the paper you are 
using, and move the left guide to the edge of the 
paper.
Problems copying a gray or 
pastel originalDo you have the Lighter/Darker feature adjusted 
correctly? Use the Lighter/Darker button to make 
adjustments.
Several pages advance at the 
same time.Is the paper loaded correctly in the input tray?
 Make sure the input tray is not overfilled. The paper 
must fit within the guides. Make sure the guides do 
not inhibit how the paper moves.
 Remove the stack of paper, and then tap the stack 
on a hard, even surface. Fan the stack, replace the 
stack in the input tray, and then push it back into 
place.
The fax I sent was blank when 
it was received Did you place your original print-side down? You 
must place the original print-side down in the ADF. 
For more information, see “Load originals.”
 Do you have the contrast set too light? If an image 
or portion of an image is very faint, it may not fax if 
the contrast setting is too light. For more 
information, see “Change contrast.”
 Was there an error? Check the front-panel display 
for any error messages. Issue What You Should Do

The print carriage is stalled.  Is the unit on? Look at the front-panel display (if the 
display is blank, the unit is off), or check for green 
lights on the front panel. Check the connections.
 Are you using the unit for the first time? Make sure 
that you have removed all packing materials from 
the unit.
 Are you using the print cartridges for the first time? 
Make sure that you have removed the protective 
tape from the nozzles on both cartridges.
 Is there a paper jam? Clear the jam. For more 
information, see “Clear a paper jam.”
 Do the print cartridges need to be cleaned or 
replaced? Print a Self-Test Report to check the 
status of the print cartridges. If you notice missing 
lines or gaps in the patterns, clean the cartridges. If 
the problem persists, you may need to replace your 
print cartridges.
 Did you try to add paper to the input tray while the 
unit was in use? Remove the paper, turn off the 
unit, and unplug the power cable from the back. 
Wait a few seconds, plug in the power cable, and 
turn the unit on. Issue What You Should Do
