Issue
Cause and Solution
Printing on inappropriate type of paper
Check to see if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or curled. See "
Compatible Media Types" to make sure that the paper you are using is suitable.
Paper Feed Roller is dirty
Paper not loaded properly
Make sure of the following when you load paper in the machine.
- When loading two or more sheets of paper, align the edges of the sheets before loading.
- Always load the paper in portrait orientation, either in the Rear Tray or Cassette, regardless of the printing orientation.
- When loading paper in the Rear Tray, load the paper with the print side facing UP. Align the right edge of the paper stack against the Cover Guide and slide the Paper Guide so that it just touches the left edge of the stack.
- When loading paper in the Cassette, load the paper with the print side facing DOWN. Align the right edge of the paper stack against the right edge of the Cassette and slide the Paper Guides against the left and bottom edges of the stack.
- When loading paper, make sure that the paper is not set over the Load Limit Mark.
Make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the paper load limit. However, proper feeding of paper may not be possible at this maximum capacity depending on the type of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature and humidity).
In such cases, reduce the sheets of paper you load at a time to around half of the paper load limit.
Foreign object in the Rear Tray or Cassette
Make sure that there are no foreign objects in the Rear Tray or Cassette.
Envelopes not prepared or loaded properly.
When printing on envelopes, load them in the machine in portrait orientation. If the envelopes are placed in landscape orientation, they will not feed properly.
