Size Change Plate Width Adjustment
When using special types of paper, such as coated paper, the paper size may be slightly different from the standard paper sizes, and this may cause the problems. Adjusting the width between the size change plates can solve the following problems due to the paper size.
If the paper size is larger than a standard paper size:
Paper jams may occur if the space between the size change plates and the paper is too narrow. Make the space between the size change plates and the paper wider.
If the paper size is smaller than a standard paper size:
The entire printed area may be shifted vertically to the top or bottom, or may be slanted if the space between the size change plates and the paper is too wide. In this case, make the space between the size change plates and the paper narrower.

If you have loaded a second stack of paper for fine adjustment, make sure to remove it after adjusting the outer size change plate. Leaving the second stack of paper in the paper deck may lead to a paper deck malfunction. For more information, see step 14.
