Paper Does Not Feed Properly
Issue
Cause and Solution
- When loading two or more sheets of paper, align the edges of the sheets before loading.
- When loading two or more sheets of paper, make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the paper support load limit. However, proper feeding of paper may not be possible at this maximum capacity depending on the type of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature and humidity). In such cases, reduce the sheets of paper you load at a time to less than half of the paper support load limit.
- Always load the paper in portrait orientation, regardless of the printing orientation.
- When you load the paper, load the paper with the print side facing UP. Align the paper stack against the right side of the Rear Tray and slide the Paper Guide so that it just touches the left edge of the stack.

- When printing on envelopes, refer to [ Loading Paper ], and [ Loading Envelopes ] before printing. Once you have prepared the envelopes, load them in portrait orientation. If the envelopes are placed in landscape orientation, they will not feed properly.
- Set the Paper Thickness Lever to the right.

Be careful not to touch the components inside the printer.
NOTE
- Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller will wear the roller, so perform this procedure only when necessary.
