Delivered Sheets Are Not Aligned
Cause:
When sheets are delivered to the stacker tray, because of paper-to-paper friction, the paddle fails to
pull the trailing edge back into the front guide, resulting in misalignment.
The paper edge stopper also fails to push back the protruding leading edge.
This may occur if:
• Thick (280 g/m
2
[105 lb. Cover] or heavier), uncurled A3 or larger paper is used.
<How the problem occurs>

2. Strong friction occurs on the trailing edge so that the paddle cannot pull the sheet back and
align the edges of the sheet with those of the stack.
