Printing and Copying Problems

Make sure your paper is loaded printable side up (usually the whiter, brighter,
or glossy side). Load it short edge first, and against the right side. Don’t load
paper above the arrow mark inside the edge guide.
Make sure the type of paper you loaded matches the paper size and paper type
settings on the control panel or in your printer software (seepage 38) when
copying or faxing.
