Paper handling difficulties

Difficulties

Suggestions

The machine does not load paper.

The LCD shows 

No Paper

 or a 

Paper Jam message. 

„

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 MP tray mode is not chosen in the printer driver.

„

If the LCD shows Paper Jam message and you still have a problem, see 

Paper jams

 on page 132.

The machine does not feed paper 
from the MP tray.

„

Fan the paper well and put it back in the tray firmly.

„

Make sure that MP tray mode is chosen in the printer driver.

How do I print on envelopes?

You can load envelopes from the MP tray. Your application 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 application. (See your application’s manual for 
more information.)

Which paper can I use?

You can use plain paper, recycled paper, envelopes and labels that are made for 
laser machines. (For details, se

Acceptable paper and other media

 on page 9.)

There is a paper jam.

(See 

Paper jams

Print quality difficulties

Difficulties

Suggestions

Printed pages are curled.

„

Low quality thin or thick paper or not printing on the recommended side of the 
paper could cause this problem. Try turning over the stack of paper in the 
paper tray.

„

Make sure that you choose the Paper Type that suits the media type you are 
using. (See 

Acceptable paper and other media

 on page 9.)

Printed pages are smeared.

The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are using, 
or the print media may be too thick or have a rough surface. (See 

Acceptable 

paper and other media

 on page 9 an

Basic tab in the Software User’s Guide on 

the CD-ROM

.)

Printouts are too light.

„

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

Toner save

 on 

page 24.)

„

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

Advanced tab in the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM

.)

Network difficulties

Difficulties

Suggestions

Cannot print over a wired Network. Make sure your machine is powered on and is on-line and in Ready mode. Print 

the Network Configuration list to see your current Network settings. (See 

How to 

print a report

 on page 68.) Reconnect the LAN cable to the hub to verify that the 

cable and network connections are good. If possible, try connecting the machine 
to a different port on your hub using a different cable. If the connections are good, 
the upper LED of the back panel of the machine will be green.
