There are a number of steps you can take to reduce paper skew on the Color StyleWriter 4100, 4500, and 6500 printers.
- Use only one type of paper at a time. (Do not put different types of paper into the input tray at the same time.)
- Keep a 1/4- to3/4-inch stack of paper in the input tray.
- Make sure the width adjuster (on the left side of the input tray) is touching the paper stack.
- When printing envelopes, print one at a time: Do not attempt to stack multiple envelopes in the input tray.
- When buying envelopes for printing, choose envelopes with a rectangular (rather than triangular) flap.
- If the paper skew is such that the left margin is wider on the bottom of the page than on the top, the input tray may be incorrectly positioned. Reseat the input tray if necessary.
