Printer prints on multiple sheets at once

If the printer prints on multiple sheets at once, check the following:

Paper weight
The printer might print on multiple sheets of paper at once if the paper is under the
recommended paper weight. Use paper that is within the recommended
specifications. 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.
The printer might also print on multiple sheets at once if different paper types are
loaded in the In tray. For example, photo paper might be mixed with plain paper.
Empty the In tray and load only the paper type that is appropriate for the document
that you are printing.

Printer is stalled

If the printer stalls while printing a document, press the Resume button. If the printer
does not start printing again, raise the printer cover, and then disconnect the power
cable from the back of the printer.

5.

Lower the printer cover.

6.

Connect the power cable to the back of the printer, and then turn on the printer.

If the Resume light is not flashing, continue printing the document.
