Stapled Paper is Misaligned Vertically

The arrows in the illustration indicate the paper ejection direction.

  • You may be able to reduce paper misalignments by enabling Printout Alignment Improvement from the control panel or printer driver. Note that printing may take longer.

    • Control panel

      Settings > General Settings > Printer Settings > Printout Alignment Improvement > Finisher(Staple) > On

    • Printer driver (Windows)

      Select Maintenance tab > Extended Settings > Printout Alignment Improvement (Finisher) > On

    • Printer driver (Mac OS)

      1. Select System Preferences (or System Settings) from the Apple menu > Printers & Scanners (or Print & Scan or Print & Fax), and then select the printer.

      2. Select Options & Supplies > Options > Printout Alignment Improvement (Finisher) > On, and then click OK.

  • Lower the density setting. If the density is too high, paper may be wavy or curled, which can cause this problem.
