SUGGESTIONS
This is common problem first with database software and part
of spreadsheet software when they are not correctly set up.
The data has been sent to the printer but the printer did not
receive the Page Eject command. Press Reset to eject the
page. Then ask your software supplier how to add a Page Eject
(or Form Feed) command to the end of your print job.
Use the Remote Printer Console (RPC) program.

Paper Handling Difficulties

Check to see if the
message appears on the LCD. If it is empty, load a new stack
or PAPER of paper into the paper cassette. If there is paper in the paper
cassette, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, you
should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the
paper, turn the stack over and put it back into the paper
cassette. Reduce the amount of paper in the paper cassette,
then try again. Check the manual feed mode is not selected in
the printer driver.
Reinsert the paper firmly, load one sheet at a time. Make sure
that manual feed mode is selected in the printer driver.
You can load envelopes from the manual feed slot. Your
application software must be set up to print the envelope size
you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or
Document Setup menu of your software. Refer to your
software application manual.
You can use plain paper, envelopes, transparencies and labels
that are made for laser machines. (For information on paper
you can use, see Acceptable Paper, page 2-5.)
See Paper Jam, page 21-4.

Print Quality Difficulties

Thin Paper (17lb-18.4lb) can cause this problem. Make sure
you select the Paper Type that suits the paper in your multi-
purpose sheet feeder. (See Paper Type, page 11-8 and 11-9
and Media Type, page 14-4.)
Rough surfaces or thick media can cause "smeared pages"
—OR—"the toner to smear". Make sure you select the correct
Paper Type that suits the paper in your multi-purpose sheet
feeder. (See Paper Type, page 11-8 and 11-9 and Media Type,
page 14-4.)
