Paper feeding
If cut sheet paper (withoutthe ASF) is not feeding smoothly,check the following:
Check
Is the paper release lever pushedback (to the ~ posi- tion)?
Is the paper guide in place and vertical?
Are the left and right guides too close together?
Is the ASF selected with the EDS settings?
Are you trying to feed paper using the front panel buttons while the. ON LINEindicator isilluminated?
Is thepapertoothick?
Possible remedy
Set the release lever to the ~ position.
The paper guide should be in place vertically for cut sheets to feed smoothly.
If the left and right guides are too close together, the paper will not feed smoothly. Move them a little further apart to allow the paper to feed freely.
If it is, then deselect it.

in this way. Try using thinner paper.
If fanfold(continuous)paperisnotbeingfedcorrectlyusingthetractorfeed, checkthe following:
Check
Is the paper release lever pushed to the & position?
Is the paper guide in the ver- tical uosition?
Are the holes on each side of the paper aligned with regard to each other in the tractor units?
Are the~actorunits too close or too far apart?
Are the tractor units locked in position and the covers closed?
Is the paper feeding freely into the printer?
I Possible remedv
Make sure the release lever is pushed to the ~ posi- tion.
1When using the tractor feed, the paper guide should be horizontal.
If thetwosidesof the paper areoutof alignmeng realign them so that the tractor holes match up.
Misalignnymt of the tractor urtits, making the paper too loose or too tigh~ will prevent a smooth paper feed.
Correct this if necessary.
The paper should not be too far from the printer (less than 1 meter/3 feet), and there should be no cables or other obstacles obstructing its path. The paper should also be feeding straight into the printer, and an angled feed may cause jams and blockages.
