Media is not supported for the printer or tray
Use only media that is supported for the printer and the tray being used. For more
information, see
Media specifications.
Media is not picked up from a tray
Make sure media is loaded in the tray. For more information, see
Load media. Fan
the media before loading.
Make sure the paper guides are set to the correct markings in the tray for the
media size you are loading. Also make sure the guides are snug, but not tight,
against the stack.
Make sure media in the tray is not curled. Uncurl paper by bending it in the
opposite direction of the curl.
When using thin special media, make sure that the tray is completely loaded. If you
are using special media that is only available in small quantities, try placing the
special media on top of other paper of the same size to help fill the tray. (Some
media is picked up more easily if the tray is full.)
If you are using thick special media (such as brochure paper), load media so that
the tray is between 1/4 and 3/4 full. If necessary, place the media on top
of other paper of the same size so that the stack height is within this range.
