For paper weight specifications, see the reference guide that came with the printer.
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 In tray, pushing the paper until you feel resistance, and
then slide the paper guide firmly against the edge of the paper stack.
