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

The following causes can be considered.

The paper is loaded incorrectly.

Solutions

Load paper in the correct direction, and slide the edge guide against the edge 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. You cannot scan the area within approximately 1.5 mm (0.06 in.) from the edge of the scanner glass.

There is some dust or stains on the scanner glass.

Solutions

Clean the scanner glass and the document cover using a dry, soft, clean cloth. If there is dust or stains around the originals on the glass, the copy area may extend to include the dust or stains, resulting in the wrong copying position or small images.

Original Size is wrong in copy setting.

Solutions

Select the appropriate Original Size in the copy setting.

The size of the paper is set incorrectly.

Solutions

Select the appropriate paper size setting.
