or more than one sheet• Isn’t curled or creased.
feeds at a time.

 

 

• Isn’t too thick or thin (see Appendix B).

 

• Isn’t overloaded in the feeder. See Chapter 2 for guidelines.

 

• Isn’t stuck together.

 

• Isn’t jammed inside the printer. If all three paper out lights are flashing, paper

 

may be jammed. See page 3-3.

 

Then reload the paper or other substrate, making sure that:

 

• The edge guides fit the paper’s width snugly, but not too tight.

 

• You fan the paper stack and tap it on a flat surface to even the edges.

 

• You load paper in the appropriate paper path. See Chapter 2 for guidelines.

 

• You use a support sheet under the paper stack, if necessary. See page 2-11 for

 

guidelines.

 

Try using a cleaning sheet to clean the paper path. See page 4-6 for instructions.

• Make sure the paper is feeding straight.

 

 

Paper doesn’t eject fully.• Press the Eject button.

 

• Make sure the page size settings in your print options and the paper size lever
