CHECK PAPER CONDITION
Use only new, unwrinkled paper.
CHECK PAPER LOADING
• Load a smaller amount of paper into the printer.
• Load paper with the print side faceup. (If you are not sure which side is the printable side, see the instructions
that came with the paper.)
• Check the loading instructions for your paper or specialty media.
