Compensating for Badly Cut Media
If the media is persistently difficult to load, it could be an indication that it has been
cut unevenly, with the media width on the leading edge different to that of the
trailing edge. A front-panel option called Skew tolerance helps you compensate for
the shape of some poorly cut sheet media. When you properly load the leading edge
of poorly cut media along the perforated line on the platen, you may notice the
trailing edge is displaced from the line by a small distance and the printer will not
accept the media. The printer can accept poorly cut media that is displaced less than
1.0 cm from the perforated line.
The Skew tolerance feature is enabled only when Sheet media is selected on the
front panel.
NOTE Media that is cut properly should not need the help of the skew tolerance
feature. In fact, using this feature for properly cut media increases the risk of
skewing your print on the page.
