Paper Does Not Feed Properly

Content Id: 8200225600

Issue

Cause and solution

Check 1: Make sure of the following when you load paper

When loading two or more sheets of paper, align the edges of the sheets before loading.

When loading two or more sheets of paper, make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the paper support 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 less than half of the paper support load limit.

Always load the paper in portrait orientation, either in the Rear Tray or the Cassette, regardless of the printing orientation.

When you load the paper on the Rear Tray, load the paper with the print side facing UP and slide the Paper Guides to align with the both sides of the paper. 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.
