When You Cannot Make Copies As

Wanted

This section describes likely causes of and possible solutions for unclear copies.

❖

Basic

Problem

Cause

Solution

Misfeeds occur frequently.

The number of sheets

loaded exceeds the ca-

pacity of the machine.

Load paper only as high as the upper

limit mark on the paper tray or bypass

tray. See p.73 “Loading Paper” and

“Copying from the Bypass Tray”,

Copy/Document Server Reference.


The paper is damp.

Use paper that has been stored in the

recommended temperature and humid-

ity condition. See “Copy Paper”, About

This Machine.


The paper is too thick or

too thin.

Use recommended paper. See “Copy

Paper”, About This Machine.


The copy paper is wrin-

kled or has been fold-

ed/creased.

Use recommended paper. Use paper

that has been stored in the recommend-

ed temperature and humidity condi-

tion. See “Copy Paper”, About This

Machine.


Printed paper is being

used.

Use recommended paper. Do not use

paper that has been already copied or

printed onto. See “Copy Paper”, About

This Machine.

Copy paper becomes

creased.

The paper is damp.

Use paper that has been stored in the

recommended temperature and humid-

ity condition. See “Copy Paper”, About

This Machine.

Copy paper becomes

creased.

The paper is too thin.

Use recommended paper. See “Copy

Paper”, About This Machine.

Copies are not stapled.

There are jammed sta-

ples in the stapler.

Remove jammed staples. See p.95 “Re-

moving Jammed Staples”.


The number of copies ex-

ceeds the capacity of the

stapler.

Check the stapler capacity. See “Supple-

mentary Information”, Copy/Docu-

ment Server Reference.


Copy paper is curled.

Turn the copy paper over in the tray.

Staples are wrongly posi-

tioned.

Originals are not set cor-

rectly.

Check the correct position to place the

originals. See “Staple”, Copy/Docu-

ment Server Reference.

You cannot combine sev-

eral functions.

Selected functions can-

not be used together.

Check the combination of functions and

make the settings again. See “Function

Compatibility”, Copy/Document Serv-

er Reference.
