misfeed
Printer's paper problem
A misfeed is a malfunction where paper or other material fails to move correctly through a machine—a printer, copier, or firearm.
The paper jams, crumples, or feeds crookedly: The copier had another misfeed.
As a verb, to misfeed is to feed incorrectly: The printer keeps misfeeding envelopes.
