If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and put

Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again.

Document Setup menu of your application.
