Paper feed problems

Paper does not feed correctly or is jammed.
■
If paper does not feed, remove it from the
sheet feeder. Fan the paper, load it against
the right side, and slide the left edge
guide against the paper (but not too
tightly). Make sure the paper is not in
front of the feeder guard.
■
Do not load paper above the c arrow
mark inside the left edge guide
(& "Loading Paper" on page 6).
■
If the paper is stuck inside the printer,
press the P On button to turn it off. Open
the scanner unit and remove any paper
inside, including any torn pieces. Close
the scanner unit. If the paper remains near
the sheet feeder, gently pull it out. Then
turn the printer back on and carefully
reload paper.
■
If paper jams frequently, make sure the
left edge guide is not pushed too tightly
against the paper. Try loading fewer
sheets of paper.
■
Make sure you are not using paper with
binder holes.

Print quality problems

printouts or copies.
■
Clean the print head (& "Checking the
print head" on page 18).
■
Make sure you select the correct paper
type (& "Selecting Paper" on page 6).
■
Make sure the printable (whiter or
glossier) side of the paper is face up.

Use up ink cartridges within six months
after installing them.
