Suggestions
 If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray.
 If there is paper in the paper tray, 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 paper tray, and then try again.
 Make sure that manual feed mode is not chosen in the printer driver.
 Clean the paper pick-up roller. See Cleaning the paper pick-up rollers
on page 52.
 If the LCD shows the Paper Jam message and you still have a problem, see
Error and maintenance messages on page 54.
You can load envelopes from the manual feed slot. Your application 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 application.
You can use thin paper, plain paper, thick paper, bond paper, recycled paper,
envelopes and labels that are made for laser machines. (For details, see
Acceptable paper and other print media on page 17.)
 You can load envelopes from the manual feed slot.
Clear the jammed paper. (See Document Jams on page 57.)
Suggestions
 Low quality thin or thick paper or not printing on the recommended side of the
paper could cause this problem. Try turning over the stack of paper in the
paper tray.
 Make sure that you choose the Paper Type that suits the print media type you
are using. (See Acceptable paper and other print media on page 17.)
The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are using,
or the print media may be too thick or have a rough surface. (See Acceptable
paper and other print media on page 17 and Basic tab in the Software User's
Guide.)
 If this problem occurs when making copies or printing, set Toner Save mode
to Off in the machine menu settings. (See Toner Save in Chapter 1 of the
Advanced User's Guide.)
 Set Toner Save mode to Off in the Advanced tab in the printer driver. (See
Advanced tab in the Software User's Guide.)
