Solution

Make sure the stack of paper is straight in the sheet feeder.

Check that the paper rest is extended and the paper selection lever is back.

Make sure the right side of the stack of paper is aligned against the right side of the sheet feeder and the left side is aligned against the paper guide.

Make sure the paper exit path is clear.

Make sure the paper selection lever is set to the correct position:

§For automatic loading of plain paper, set it to the back.

§For automatic loading of envelopes, set it to the front.

§For manually feeding paper, set it to the front.

§For transparencies or thick paper, set it to the front.

When manually loading paper, be sure to insert a single sheet of paper all the way into the sheet feeder. If the paper is not inserted far enough, the printer cannot load it. Make sure the paper is not sticking together. Be sure to fan the stack of paper before placing it in the sheet feeder. Check that the paper selection lever is back for automatic loading of paper.

Make sure the stack of paper does not exceed the paper limit mark on the right side of the sheet feeder. If necessary, remove a few sheets from the sheet feeder. Load just one type of paper.

Do not use curled or bent paper, which may fall into the manual feed slot and cause the paper to misfeed.

Make sure you are laoding paper that matches the specifications of this printer. See Appendix A, Specifications, for details.
