See that they are free of wear, scratches, dirt, and deformation.- Check to make sure that the paper is free of a bent leading edge and is free of curling, waving, and excess moisture.- Try using paper and transparency of a type recommended by Canon to see if the problem is corrected.Mechanical- Check to make sure that the load imposed on the drive system is not more than permitted.- Check to make sure that the gears are free of wear and chipping.Cassette- Check to see that the cassette is correctly fitted. Check to see that the paper size is correctly set. Try replacing with a fault-free cassette to see if the problem iscorrected.- Check to see that the movement of the holding plate of the cassette is normal and the plate is free of deformation.- Check to see that the side guide plate and the rear guide plate of the cassette are fitted correctly.- Check to see if the switch of the cassette heater is turned on (only if a cassette heater is mounted).Service Mode- Check to see that the various adjustment settings of the CCD are as indicated on the service label.(COPIER>ADJUST>CCD>all items)- Check to see if registration adjustment is executed.(COPIER>ADJUST>FEED>ADJ>REGIST)- Check to see if the image read start position adjustment is correct.(COPIER>ADJUST>ADJ-XY>ADJ-X/ADJ-Y)- Check to see if the setting of ADJUST/OPTION is identical to that indicated on the service label.- Check to see if all errors have been reset.(COPIER>FUNCTION>CLEAR-ERR)General
