Recommendation
Make sure that the paper or other print media is loaded correctly in
the paper tray and that the guides are not too tight or too loose
against the paper stack.
Set the paper guides correctly. (See Loading paper in the standard
paper tray on page 10.)
If you are using the MP tray, see Loading paper in the multi-purpose
tray (MP tray) on page 11.
The paper tray may be too full.
Check the paper type and quality. (See Acceptable paper and other
print media on page 14.)
Make sure that you use paper that meets our specifications. Rough-
surfaced paper or thick paper may cause the problem. (See
Acceptable paper and other print media on page 14.)

or in the machine's Paper Type menu setting. (See Acceptable paper
and other print media on page 14 and Basic tab in the Software
