48 Troubleshooting
Check to see if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or curled.
See "Media Types You Cannot Use" on page 9.
You may need to clean the Paper Feed Rollers of the Auto Sheet Feeder. Follow
the procedure below.
Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller of the Auto Sheet Feeder consumes it, so
perform this procedure only when necessary.
For details on cleaning, see "Cleaning the Paper Feed Rollers (Roller Cleaning)"
on page 33.
Check the following when you load paper in the machine.
When loading two or more sheets of paper, align the edges of the sheets
before loading.
Always load the paper in portrait orientation, regardless of the printing
orientation.
Load the paper with the print side facing UP. Align the right edge of the paper
stack against the Auto Sheet Feeder and slide the Paper Guide so that it just
touches the left edge of the stack.
For details on loading paper, see "Loading Paper" on page 10.
You can load approximately up to 100 sheets of 17 lb / 64 gsm plain paper.
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 paper stack to around half.
For details on loading paper, see "Loading Paper" on page 10.
Check that there are no foreign objects in the Auto Sheet Feeder.
See "Loading Envelopes" on page 12, and prepare the 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.
