Understand specifications for supported media.
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.)
