    I have an the identical problem. The printer is new and the problem started right away.

    I have no idea how to fix it.

    I constantly have problems using the auto sheet feeder. It always seems to pull from the right and not the left especially when I have custom size paper in it. It is a pretty new printer. I will try to see if there is any little peices of paper or anything blocking the left side as suggested. If you have any other tips I would love to try them!! I have tried putting an 8 1/2 size sheet behind my 5 1/2 width cardstock to fool it but it would only pull a couple inches and stop and the printer would start printing - with no paper in it! Please Help!!

    that sounds like the same problem I have been having. I have had the printer for about a year, and suddenly, it stopped working properly.

    My printer paper tilts to the right as well. I am so frustrated. I love this printer! It happened all of a sudden and seems as there is no solution. I have searched and come up empty. Really hope someone can help. Thanks.

    The paper feeds on the right, I believe, but not the left so I get a paper jam message.

  • Anonymous Mar 30, 2009

    the paper feed on the right side (looking at the front of the printer) and not the left, causing a jam message. Dont think there is any paper in there, I have spent an hour looking.

My printer is only a month old. I was able to cut and insert a piece of dense foam on the left side of the upper paper tray which blocks the paper from tilting to the left when feeding. This seems to have fixed my problem with duplex printing. I'll have to monitor condition of the piece of foam to make sure it doesn't start breaking into bits.

Your printer is politely asking you to please get a torch, and open the lid of unit and thoroughly check inside all over for a tiny jam of paper or something else. I am willing to bet you will find some jam. I would also switch it off, and wait a while before turning on and printing again. Good luck

Paper pulls to right side and then jams it all started when paper jam i pulled it out and ever since then when loading paper it pulls to the right and then jams
Try running a good sized thickness paper thru it to clear out the cutters.
Sometimes when they jam some residual paper is left in the space between the cutter wheels and causes the paper to feed askew...

Paper pulls to the right, jams, won't print, tried different paper still won't print
Hi,
Sounds like the feed rollers need cleaning.
Clean the feed rollers, lint free cloth,bottled water.
wait for them to properly dry

Revolve the feed roller bar as you clean them, to clean the feed rollers all the way round, remove all particles from them.

Check you ADF grips are set correctly, if not you will get mis-fed sheets. check the tray is sat properly too or mis-feeds.

Check paper size is correct in print properties too.
Should be good then
Try print.

Regards
Richard.

Printer 2480- my printer is pulling paper only on right side
Try this :

1. Turn the printer off and open the access cover.
2. Look for any obstructions in the paper path and remove them if necessary. (It is possible to move the carrier assembly with the power off.)
3. Turn the printer on, load some paper, and press the Form Feed button. (On the X83, press the Select button.)
4. Watch the paper as it feeds through and try to determine where the jam is occurring.
5. Check to see if all the rollers are turning.

If all the rollers are turning, there may be something in the feed path that you can't see. Go to step 6.
If not, there is probably a feed motor or a gear problem and the printer may require service.
6. If the paper is jamming under the carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot.
7. Turn the printer off.
8. Take a #10 envelope and feed it through the left side of the manual feed slot until it comes right through the printer to the back of the exit rollers.
9. Move it up and down first, and then slowly move it over to the right side. If something is stuck under the black guide plate, this may work it loose.

Paper feeds unevenly and won't feed properly
For me, although the paper was folding and jamming on the right, the problem was the farthest left roller. Just push a regular index card past this roller until it doesn't stick.  Good luck and thanks so much for this site.
