1. Make

sure that the paper tray

guides are

adjusted

correctly for

the

 

 

 

size paper you are using. In particular,

make

sure

the

rear

 

guides

 

 

 

rest

lightly

against

the

back

of

the paper

stack. Note

that

for

some

 

 

shorter

 

paper

sizes,

only

 

one

guide

adjusts

to

the

back

of

the

paper

 

 

stack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Do

 

not

 

refeed

the

same

 

sheet

of

 

paper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. The

paper you are using

 

in

the

printer

may

not

be
