in the title section above. Possible cause
The following conditions may delay the sensor trigger that causes the printer firmware to interrupt the process and post the 280.15 paper jam.
- ADF Mechanical Deskew is set to "AUTO"
- ADF tray side guides are not well set or loose
- Leading edge of the media is crooked.

Solution
These steps below will help prevent the jam from occurring.
Step | Action |
1 | Properly set the ADF tray guides and make sure to put the media straight with no gaps. |
2 | Disable the Auto-Deskew by performing these steps: - Touch Settings from the printer home screen.
- Access the printer's Configuration Menu.
- Scroll down and navigate through Scanner Configuration > ADF Deskew.
- Change the ADF Mechanical Deskew value from Auto to Off.
Note: This will ignore sensor trigger and delay in signals so there will be no interruption done by printer firmware, however, this may cause skewed image on the copy/scan.

3 | Should the error persist, update the printer firmware. Please contact Lexmark Technical Support to acquire the firmware fix for the issue. Note: The Lexmark representative might ask for the printer's current firmware level. Please refer to xref_Check_xref for the steps.
