The left side of the document will not print when I make a copy from the scanner glass.

This issue may be caused by incorrect settings.


Please try the steps below to solve the issue.

  1. Check if the paper you want to use for printing copies is in the paper tray you are printing from.
    You can use Manual Feed Slot or Tray 1.
