Check the following:

• Examine the resulting copies/scans. If the image on the scan/copied page is crooked, the issue is occurring as the paper feeds into the ADF. for an article containing more information on this issue, as well as suggested actions to take to rectify it.
• Make sure that the paper stop in the exit tray is set to the proper position.
• Confirm that the paper/print media is properly loaded into the ADF. Make sure the paper support guides are set in the correct position. In their proper position, they should lightly rest against the sides of the paper stack, preventing the stack from shifting while not binding the paper.
