Are you using paper designed for an inkjet printer?

Check the type of paper you are using. Some low-quality papers may be too thin or too slick to be fed correctly into
the printer. For more information, see “Choosing compatible specialty paper types” on page 66.

Are you loading the paper correctly?

For more information, see “Loading paper” on page 35.

Note: Do not force paper into the printer.
