It sounds like it needs service. You might consider reposting with the specific make and model. Hard to troubleshoot without knowing what it is.
You might consider going to the manufacturer’s website and looking up the manual for your copier.

Why is my copy machine printing off-set?
Question by : Why is my copy machine printing off-set?
Basically the copy machine at my work place just happened to end up being one of my responsibilities, great! (sarcasm). It copies and receives faxes fine for tray 2 (8.5″x11″) as well as the bypass tray (11″x17″). However tray two is yellow paper which we use for something else. Tray 1 which is used to receive our faxes and make copies (8.5″x11″) is printing out our faxes with the top left corner about 2 inches down and over to the right. So the left margin and top margin have about 2 inches or so of blank white space and the right side and bottom of our copies and faxes are cut off by about 2 inches as well. The settings on both Tray 1 and Tray 2 are exactly the same….I triple checked, even screwed up Tray 2’s settings and changed them back and it still works fine. Tray 1 however will not print out correctly not matter what setting it is set to (there are a lot of options in different menus and I have tried as many combinations as I can) This started when a co-worker was messing with it, and of course she has no clue what she changed. I restarted the machine, I read all 5 manuals front to back, I tried every setting I could find and have about 250 screwed up copies to prove it.
Ricoh Aficio 2018D…help!!!!
Don was correct about the guides in the physical tray. The paper in both trays were placed exactly the same however when tray 2 was put into tray 1’s slot everything print correctly. I changed tray 1 around and nothing really worked, paper jammed, I fit it in sideways in landscape position and now it prints everything to scale on landscape…better than nothing I guess. Thanks…! :X

First, try to eliminate the paper tray itself. Swap tray 2 for tray 1. Pull the tray out and lift it up slightly while pulling. While the trays are out of the machine, look into the machine to see if there is any paper stuck back behind the trays.
Compare the side and rear paper guides of the trays. Do they line up the same when set to the same paper size? (Sometimes the gears of the side or rear guides can skip a tooth, and the machine will not sense the paper size correctly).
If you slide tray 2 into the tray 1 position, and your faxes come out correctly, there is something wrong with the tray 1 paper tray itself.

How can I dispose of an old copy machine?
Question by Fivens: How can I dispose of an old copy machine?
I have an old Xerox copy machine that is stuck on a ‘J2’ error. We’d like to donate it to someone/company who can fix it and get use out of it. Does anyone know of a place that can do that?

Look on Craig’s List. There’s always people on there that will take your old stuff and recycle it or fix it and donate it to small businesses.

How do I clean a copy machine that uses toner cartridge?
Question by antron434: How do I clean a copy machine that uses toner cartridge?
Best answer:
Answer by Dubbya
When people ask this question, it’s usually because they’ve spilled a large amount of toner.
Be advised that if you have spilled a large amount of toner, using the printer will cause melted toner to stick to everything and you’ll have to toss it or get it repaired at great expense.
DO NOT USE YOUR HOUSEHOLD VACUUM!
Doing so will pass toner through the motor. The heat will melt the toner, it’ll stick to the motor and you’ll be shopping for a new vacuum.
Don’t do anything to get toner particles airborne. Toner is a carcinogen and the particles can take hours to settle.
Don’t do anything that may apply heat to the loose toner. Once heated, it’ll melt and stick like glue to anything that isn’t Teflon coated.
There are a few options:
1) You can ignore sage advice and use your household vacuum cleaner.
2) You can disassemble the printer and sweep out the spilled toner then wonder why you have one little screw left over after you put it back together.
3) You can dump it upside down and shake the spilled toner out, which will probably break something else.
4) You can call an experienced service technician who has the correct type of vacuum and tools and have them do it for you.

Answer by Brian S
With something that’s strictly a copier, you can’t. You need a scanner that connects to your computer, and there is a nice selection of copiers these days that can do that as well.
