If the paper doesn't eject fully,
you may have set the wrong
paper size. Press the
maintenance button to eject the
paper, and then select the
correct paper size.

If it's wrinkled when it ejects,
the paper may be damp or too
thin. See page 51 for paper
specifications.

jams in the printer.

against the right edge, behind
the tabs, then slide the left edge

remove the paper from the sheet
feeder, fan the edges to separate
the sheets, then reload it.
