The side fences in the paper tray are too far apart.
If the side fences are too far apart, the paper may shift.
Adjust the side fences to match the paper width.
When you close the paper tray, the side fences may become misaligned due to the weight of the paper.
To prevent this, close the paper tray slowly.
