If paper is not feeding properly, clean the Paper Feed Rollers. Cleaning the
Paper Feed Rollers will wear the rollers, so perform this procedure only when
necessary.
For details on cleaning, see "Cleaning the Paper Feed Rollers (Roller Cleaning)"
on page 64.
Make sure of 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, either in the Auto Sheet Feeder
or the Cassette, regardless of the printing orientation.
When loading paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder, load the paper with the print
side facing UP. Align the right edge of the paper stack against the Cover
Guide and slide the Paper Guide so that it just touches the left edge of the
stack.
When loading paper in the Cassette, load the paper with the print side facing
DOWN. Align the right edge of the paper stack against the right edge of the
Cassette and slide the Paper Guide against the left edge of the stack.
For details on loading paper, see "Loading Paper" on page 15.
Make sure that the proper paper source is selected. If not, change the paper
source using the Paper Feed Switch or the printer driver. For details, see
"Changing the Paper Source" on page 14.
Note
When printing from your computer, if a setting other than Paper Feed Switch is
selected for Paper Source in the printer driver, the printer driver settings takes
precedence when printing. For details on paper source selection using the
printer driver, refer to the Printer Driver Guide on-screen manual.
