The paper is binding or sticking together.	Remove the paper, flex it, rotate it 180°, or flip it over. Reload
	the paper into the tray.

	might not be picked from the tray.

	remaining life of the supplies. See Print the information pages
	on page 56.

Replace the paper in the trays. Paper should be stored in the original packaging in a controlled environment.
