Paper misfeeds
frequently.
Is paper other than SHARP-
recommended paper being used?
Use SHARP-recommended paper. (Page 2-17
)
Paper curled or damp?
Do not use curled or crimped paper. If you will
not use the paper for a long time, remove the
paper from the tray and store it in the wrapper in
a cool and dark location so that it will not absorb
moisture.
Is the paper curled and does it
frequently misfeed in the finisher or
saddle stitch finisher?
Paper may be curled when output depending on
the paper type and quality.
In some cases turning the paper over in the tray
will reduce misfeeding due to curling.
Multiple sheets of paper fed
simultaneously?
Remove the paper
from the paper
tray or the bypass
tray, fan the paper
as shown in the
illustration, and
then load it again.
The paper in the tray is not stacked
evenly.
Make sure that the paper in the paper tray is
stacked evenly. If the stack is not even, paper
misfeeds will occur.
