properly installed. Install the print cartridge again. (See
Replacing the Print Cartridge, page 83.)
The documents were not inserted or fed properly, or were
too long. (See Document Jam, page 77.)
The fax machine is out of paper or paper is not properly
loaded in the paper tray. Refill the paper or remove the

coping or printing reports, load paper and try again.
