Paper Handling Difficulties

The MFC does not load paper.

The LCD shows 

No Paper Fed 

or 

Paper Jam

If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray. If there is paper 
in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, you should 
straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and 
put it back into the paper tray. Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and 
then try again. Check that the manual feed mode is not selected in the printer 
driver.

If the LCD shows 

Paper Jam

 and you still have a problem, see 

Paper jams

 on 

page 11-7.

The MFC does not feed paper from 
the manual feed slot.

Reinsert the paper firmly, load one sheet at a time. Make sure that manual feed 
mode is selected in the printer driver.

How  can  I load envelopes?

You can load envelopes from the manual feed slot. Your application software must 
be set up to print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page 
Setup or Document Setup menu of your software. Please refer to the manual 
provided with your software application.

What paper can I use?

You can use plain paper, recycled paper, envelopes, transparencies and labels 
that are made for laser machines. (For information on paper you can use, see 

About paper

 on page 1-9.)

How can I clear paper jams?

See 

Paper jams

 on page 11-7.

Print Quality Difficulties

Printed pages are curled.

Low quality thin or thick paper can cause this problem. Make sure you select the 
Paper Type that suits the media type you use. (See 

About paper

 on page 1-9.)

Printed pages are smeared.

The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are 
usingā€”

OR

ā€”The print media may be too thick or have a rough surface. 

(See 

About paper

 on page 1-9 an

Basic tab

 in the Software Userā€™s Guide on the 

CD-ROM.)

Printouts are too light.

If this problem occurs when making copies or printing received faxes, turn off 
Toner Save mode in the MFC menu settings. (See 

Toner Save

 on page 2-5.)

Set Toner Save mode to off in the Advanced tab in the printer driver. 
(See 

Advanced tab

 in the Software Userā€™s Guide on the CD-ROM.)

Network Difficulties (MFC-7820N only)

I cannot print over the Network

Make sure that your MFC is powered on and is online and in Ready mode. Print a 
Network Configuration list and check the current Network settings printed in this 
list. (See 

Printing reports

 on page 7-1.) Reconnect the LAN cable to the hub to 

verify that the cabling and network connections are good. If possible, try 
connecting the MFC to a different port on your hub using a different cable. If the 
connections are good, the MFC shows 

LAN Active

.
