while the printer is running. If an adjustment is made, again check the stack after approxiĆ
mately 15 to 20 sheets have been processed.
NOTE: If the paper is not stacking properly, check the following items in addition to
those listed in step 7.
1. If printing occurs across the paper perforations, the paper will not stack corĆ

printing across the paper perforations.
2. If the paper path is too close to either side panel, paper stacking can be disĆ
rupted. Adjust the paper path toward the center of the printer, away from the
side panels.
