Paper handling difficulties
Difficulties Suggestions
The machine does not feed
paper.
If the paper tray is empty, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray.
If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled,
straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and put
it back in the paper tray.
Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again.
Make sure that manual feed mode is not selected in the printer driver.
Clean the paper pick-up roller.
(See Cleaning the paper pick-up roller on page 153.)
The machine does not feed
paper from the Manual feed
slot.
Make sure that Manual is selected in the printer driver.
How do I print on envelopes? Load one envelope at a time in the Manual feed slot. Your application must be set to
print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or
Document Setup menu of your application.
(See your application’s manual for more information.)
