●Load a stack of paper, not just one page. Use clean and flat paper of the same size. Make sure only one type of paper is loaded at a time.

●Adjust the paper-width guides in the paper tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guides do not bend the paper in the paper tray.

●Set the print quality and paper size settings according to the type and size of paper loaded in the paper tray.

●To clear paper jam, see Clear paper jam on page 64 for more information.
