The printer is an Epson DFX-8500 dot matrix. It seems to be getting caught on the perforation between pages which causes the forms to wad up . We used to use a 3-part form but now use a 2-part form. ...
It sounds like the stepper motor on the right side may be dirty with paper dust, or the tractor feed may have jumped a notch on one side.

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/joe_8b8c2cd6ce148309

Prints one side faded one sige legible the other side as if the printhead has a problem
Epson Dot matrix DFX 8000


Due to printer head firing is not proper.

The Prnter need servicing and once serviced it will be alright.

Sometimes the Printer Ribbon might have not rotating and the print will not be visible on the left and at right side it is bright.

Better consult the local printer hardware enigneer and settle this iseeu.

Put the original and best gsm paper in the printer, when prining job is iniated.

Epson DFX 8500
the file maybe too big to process, try printing the file in different method, like separating the sequence, divide the prints into parts in this way spooling will be easier and it will be queued anyway and will print, just be mindful of pages and sequence
