• Be sure to insert the paper cassette all the way into your product.
• If multiple pages feed at once, remove the paper, fan the edges to separate the sheets, and reload it.
• Do not load more than the recommended number of sheets.
• Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.
• If paper jams when you print on both sides of the paper, try loading fewer sheets.
• Make sure the paper size and paper type settings are correct for the paper source.
• Run the paper guide cleaning utility to clean the paper roller.
• Clean the roller inside the printer to remove any dust on the paper path.
• For best results, follow these guidelines:
• Use new, smooth, high-quality paper that is not curled, creased, old, too thin, or too thick.
• Load paper in the cassette printable side down.
• Follow any special loading instructions that came with the paper.
