Media is not feeding correctly
z Check for jams
Print media might be jammed inside the all-in-one or the ADF. Check for jams. See
Clearing jams for more information.
z Check the media and media type
If the all-in-one is feeding multiple sheets, make sure that only one type of media is
loaded in each tray.
Make sure that the media width and length adjusters fit snugly but gently against the
edges of the stack.
You might be using an incorrect media type. Some media types are not suitable for use
with your all-in-one. See Choosing the print media for more information.
z Check the settings
Make sure that the correct page orientation is selected. See Changing settings for the
all-in-one for more information.
z Check the trays and other components
Make sure that all trays and covers are completely closed. Make sure that the
auto-duplex unit is installed correctly. See Installing the auto-duplex unit for more
information.
Make sure that media is loaded correctly. See Loading the print media for more
information.
A tray cannot be inserted
z Check the tray location
Something in the all-in-one might be blocking the tray. Check the slot where the tray fits
to ensure that nothing is broken or jammed in a way that would prevent the tray from
being inserted.
If the tray will not close completely when it is inserted, pull out the tray, and then push
the tray in again firmly.
If you are installing tray 2, make sure that you have removed the tray ramp. See
Installing tray 2 for more information.

z Check the media
Some media types are not suitable for use with your all-in-one. See Choosing the print
media for more information.
The adjuster is pressed too tightly against the stack. Make sure that the adjuster is
pressed snugly but gently against the stack.
