Paper Feeding
Problems
Paper doesn’t feed correctly or
jams in the printer.
■
If paper doesn’t feed, remove it
from the sheet feeder. Fan the
edges of the sheets, reload them
against the right edge (beneath
the tab), then slide the left edge
guide against the paper.
■
If paper jams, press the
b
maintenance button to clear
the jam. If necessary, open the
cover and remove any jammed
or torn pieces. Load new paper
and press the
b
maintenance
button.
Paper doesn’t eject fully or is
wrinkled.
■
If the paper doesn’t eject fully,
you may have set the wrong
paper size. Press the
b
maintenance button to eject the
paper, then select the correct
paper size.
■
If it’s wrinkled when it ejects,
the paper may be damp or too
thin. Load new paper.
