Paper Handling Difficulties

The machine does not lo ad paper.

The LCD shows No Paper Fed or

Paper Jam.

If there is no paper, load a new stack of pa per into the paper tray. If there is paper

in the paper tray, make sure i t is straight. If the pape r is curled, you should

straighten it. Sometimes it is helpfu l to remove the paper, turn the sta ck over and

put it back into the p aper tray. Redu ce the amount o f paper in the paper tray, and

then try again. Check that the manual feed mode is not se lected in the printer

driver. If the LCD shows Paper Jam and you still ha ve a problem, s ee Paper jams

The machine does not f eed paper

from the manual feed slot.

Reinsert the paper firmly, load one sheet at a time. Make sure that manual feed

mode is selected in the printer driver.

How can I load envelopes? You can load envelopes from the manual feed slot. Your application software must

be set up to print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page

Setup or Document Setu p menu of your so ftware. You shou ld refer to the ma nual

provided with your software application.

What paper can I use? You can use plain pap er, recycled paper, envelopes, transp arencies and labels

that are made for laser machines. (For in formation on paper you can use, see

About paper on page 1-6.)

Paper Type that suits the media type you use. (See About paper on page 1-6.)

using—OR—The print media may be too thick or have a rough surface.

(See About paper on page 1-6 and Basic tab in the Software User’s Guide on the

Printouts are too light. If your machine is not connected to a computer, turn off Toner Save mode in the

machine’s menu setting. (See Toner Save on page 2-2.)
