TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
Suggestions
• Check to see if the CHECK PAPER or PRINTER JAM
message appears on the LCD. If so, the multipurpose sheet
feeder may be out of paper or not properly installed. If it is
PRINTER empty, load a new stack of paper into the feeder.
• If there is paper in the multipurpose sheet feeder, 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 tray.
• Reduce the amount of paper in the multipurpose sheet feeder,
then try again.
Reinsert the paper firmly, one sheet at a time.
You can load envelopes from either the multipurpose sheet
feeder or 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 application manual.
You can use plain paper, envelopes, transparencies, labels, and
organizer paper. For information on loading paper. See
"Acceptable Paper" in Chapter 9.
See "Paper Jams" on page 13-6~8.
Suggestions
• Turn the MFC off and on or reset it.
• Make sure your application software is correctly set up to use
the MFC by checking the printer settings in your application
software.
• Reduce the printer resolution.
• Reduce the complexity of your document and try again.
• Reduce the graphic quality or the number of font sizes within
your application software.
Most laser printers have a restricted area that will not accept
print. Usually these are the first two lines and last two lines,
leaves 62 printable lines. Adjust the top and bottom margins in
your document to allow for this.
