I cleared a paper jam and now the printer is cutting off approximately 1" from the top off of my document. I've cleaned the rollers but it didn't solve the problem.  Thank you for any assistance!

    Pulling out the output tray and lifting the output tray extender

  • On the printer control panel, swipe left on the display, and then touch Setup .

  • Touch Tools.

  • Swipe up on the display, and then touch Align Printer.

    An alignment page prints.

  • Wait for the alignment page to fully eject from the printer.

  • After the alignment page prints, lift the scanner lid, place the alignment page with the print side down on the scanner glass. Position it according to the engraved guides around the glass.

    Placing the alignment page on the scanner glass

  • Close the scanner lid, and then touch OK.

    The printer aligns the ink cartridges.

  • After the printer aligns the ink cartridges, touch OK on the control panel.

  • Try to print again.

I hope that helps.
