Problems with Paper Feeding

Too many copies are printing.

Make sure the Copies settings in the printer software and your application aren’t both set for multiple copies.

Paper doesn’t eject fully or is wrinkled.

If the paper doesn’t eject fully, you may see a paper jam error window on your screen. Click the Eject button to eject the paper. If it doesn’t eject, follow the on-screen instructions to remove jammed paper.

The problem may be caused by an incorrect paper size setting. Be sure to select the correct paper size in your application or printer software.

Check to make sure you’ve left enough room at the front of the printer for paper to eject easily.

If it’s wrinkled when it ejects, the paper may be damp or too thin.
