Problem Recommendation
The printer does not feed
paper. „ If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled,
flatten it before printing. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper. Turn the
stack over and put it back in the paper tray.
„ Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again.
„ Make sure that manual feed mode is not chosen in the printer driver.
The printer does not feed paper
from the manual feed slot. „ Fan the paper well and put it back in firmly.
„ Make sure that you have chosen the manual feed slot in the Paper Source of the
printer driver.
The printer does not feed
envelopes. „ The printer can feed envelopes from the manual feed slot. You must set up your
application to print on the size of envelopes you are using. This is usually done in
the page setup or document setup menu of your software. (See your application
manual.)
A paper jam has occurred. „ Clear the jammed paper. (See Paper jams and how to clear them on page 85.)
