Troubleshooting
What to do
Remove the paper and gently reinsert
it straight up and down into the
printer.
Take the paper stack out of the feeder,
remove some sheets, and reload the
stack. Load paper only up to the arrow
mark on the left edge guide.
Adjust the guides against the stack of
paper. See "Loading Paper" in
Chapter 3.
Turn off the printer and gently pull all
of the paper out of the printer. If it
tears and pieces remain inside the
printer, open the printer cover; then
remove any remaining pieces of paper.
Use only new, smooth sheets of paper.
Use paper that meets the paper
requirements for this printer. See
"Paper" in the Appendix.
