Problems and Solutions

Check the solutions below if you’re having trouble using your printer.

■Make sure your paper is loaded printable side up, short edge first, and all the

way to the right (see page 6 and page 8).

■When using the sheet feeder, don’t load paper above the arrow mark on the

left edge guide. Load only one sheet of compatible paper when using the

single sheet guide (see page 8).

■Make sure the paper size settings in the printer software are correct for the

paper you loaded.

■If the P power and Ipaper lights are flashing and printing has stopped,

make sure the printer cover is closed. Leaving the printer cover open stops or

prevents printing.

■If paper doesn’t feed into the sheet feeder, remove the paper and fan the stack

of paper to separate the sheets. Reload paper against the right side and slide

the edge guide against it. Do not load too many sheets in the sheet feeder at

once (see page 6) and make sure the printer cover is closed.

■If paper loaded using the single sheet guide doesn’t feed, make sure you

installed the guide correctly and guided the paper all the way into the printer

(see page 8).

■If paper dust builds up on the rollers, they may lose traction and become

unable to feed paper properly. See page42 for cleaning instructions.

■Make sure the front manual feed tray is not extended if you’re printing on roll

paper or with the sheet feeder. Extend it only to load fine art paper or poster

board.

■If roll paper doesn’t feed, cut the end of it straight across and uncurl the end

by rolling it backward, if necessary. Then reload the paper (see page10).

■If thick media doesn’t feed, make sure you’re loading it straight into the

printer and not at an incline (see page 13).
