Remove the document. Make sure you do not have any staples, paper clips,
or bent edges, and then reload it in the ADF. Make sure that you are using
a recommended paper type. Restart the job. If you are sending a fax, you
do not need to re-send the pages faxed before the error occurred. For
information on loading paper, see load paper on page 6 and for
information on recommended paper, see recommended papers on page 7.

faxes stored in memory, load paper and press Enter on the front panel.
For more information, see reprint faxes in memory on page 27.
