Paper is not feeding or ejecting correctly from the sheet feeder
1Are you using paper which is thicker or thinner than recommended?
Use paper within the range 0.07 mm - 0.23 mm (0.003" - 0.01"). For auto feeding use paper in the range 0.07 mm - 0.1 mm (0.003" - 0.004").
2Are you using poor quality paper?
Paper that is folded, ripped or has holes, such as loose leaf binder or refill paper, can cause paper jams and should not be used.
3Are you using curled paper?
This will cause paper jams. The paper should be curled the opposite way to flatten it out before it is used.
4Are you using paper with folded or cut corners?
This can cause problems since the paper position sensor and paper length sensor do not work prop- erly. Sheets with corner cuts, such as transparen- cies and back print film, will work fine if the corner cut end is placed at the top of the paper guide.
5Is the cut corner in the correct position?
When these sheets are inserted with the cut corner incorrectly positioned, they may not feed cor- rectly.
6Is the paper feed guide too narrow for the paper?
The paper feed guide should hold the paper loosely enough so that it can feed easily.
7Is there too much paper in the sheet feeder?
The sheet feeder can hold up to 100 sheets of plain paper, or 30 transparencies, any more than this may cause a paper jam.
8Is the paper feed switch positioned correctly for the paper feed method?
To print on plain paper using automatic feed mode, set the paper feed switch to position “A”; to print in manual feed mode, set it to position “M”.
9Are you printing on envelopes, thermal paper, or picture postcards?
Correct printing and feeding of envelopes and thermal paper cannot be guaranteed. The back side of picture postcards can be used if the card is less than 0.23 mm (0.01") thick and manual feed
