Troubleshooting
What to do
Remove the paper from the feeder and
reload up to 100 plain paper sheets (or
up to 70 special coated sheets, or up to
30 sheets of oversized paper).
Use flat, non-damaged paper.
See "Technical Specifications" in
Appendix C.
Adjust the guides against the stack of
paper.
Remove the continuous paper.
Set the paper-release lever to the
single-sheet position.
Fit the rear edge guide under the
output tray to match the paper loaded
in the sheet feeder.
Position the rear edge guide as shown
in "Photo Quality Ink Jet Card" in
Chapter 7.
Fan your stack of paper before loading
it into the sheet feeder.
Raise the output tray by extending the
legs under both sides of the tray to
keep enough clearance between the
output tray and paper support.
See "Loading oversized paper into the
sheet feeder" in Chapter 7.
