Paper handling

Question

Recommendation

The printer does not feed 
paper.

Check to see if the Alarm LED is on. If so, the paper tray may be out of paper 
or not properly inserted. If it is empty, put a new stack of paper in the paper 
tray.

If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure that it is straight. If the paper is 
curled, you should straighten it before printing. Sometimes it is helpful to 
remove the paper, turn the stack over, and then put it back in the paper tray.

Reduce the stack of paper in the paper tray, and then try again.

How can I load envelopes?

You can feed envelopes from the paper tray (Tray 1). Make sure you adjust the 
paper guide. Your application software also must be set up properly to print on 
the size of envelopes you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or 
Document Setup menu of your software. See your applications manual for more 
information.

Which paper can I use?

See 

What kind of paper can I use?

 on page 1-10 for detailed paper 

specifications.

How can I clear paper jams?

See 

Paper jams and how to clear them

 on page 6-7.

The printer feeds more than 
one sheet at a time.

Check the following:

The paper in the tray is all the same type.

The paper meets the specifications.

Paper stack was fanned before loading.

The stack of paper is not too high.

The side guide is not set too tight.

Paper skews while feeding.

Check the following:

The side guide is adjusted properly.

The amount of paper you loaded is correct. See 

Paper specifications

 on page 

A-4.

Sometimes mis-picking of 
paper from the paper tray or 
mis-feeding of paper from the 
paper exit occurs.

Clean the paper guide, the registration roller and the exit roller. See 

Cleaning

 on 

page 5-21.
