The Position, Size, or Margins of the Copies are Incorrect

One of the following situations may be the cause.

The paper is loaded incorrectly.

Solutions

Load paper in the correct direction, and slide the edge guides against the edges of the paper.

The originals are not placed correctly.

Solutions

  • Make sure the original is placed correctly against the alignment marks.

  • If the edge of the scanned image is missing, move the original slightly away from the edge of the scanner glass.

There is dust or dirt on the scanner glass.

Solutions

When placing the originals on the scanner glass, remove any dust or dirt from the originals, and clean the scanner glass. If there is dust or stains on the glass, the copy area may extend to include the dust or stains, resulting in the wrong copying position or small images.

The paper size in the printer settings is incorrect.

Solutions

Make sure the paper size in the printer settings matches the actual paper size.
