Check the printer location and length of USB cable
High electromagnetic fields (such as those generated by USB cables) can sometimes
cause slight distortions to printouts. Move the printer away from the source of the
electromagnetic fields. Also, it is recommended that you use a USB cable that is less
than 3 meters (9.8 feet) long to minimize the effects of these electromagnetic fields.
Check the paper size
Make sure the selected paper size matches the actual loaded paper size.
Placement of the text or graphics is wrong
Check how the media is loaded
Make sure the media width and length guides fit snugly against the edges of the stack
of media, and make sure the tray is not overloaded. For more information, see Load
media.

loaded in the tray.
Check the margin settings

information, see Set minimum margins.
