Paper might be loaded improperly
The printer might print on multiple sheets of paper at once if the paper is loaded too far
toward the back of the printer or if the paper guide is not positioned firmly against the
paper. Reload the paper into the paper tray, pushing the paper until you feel resistance,
and then slide the paper guide firmly against the edge of the paper stack.
The printer also might print on multiple sheets if different paper types are loaded in the
printer. For example, photo paper might be mixed with plain paper. Empty the paper tray
and load only the paper type that is appropriate for the document that you are printing.
