Cause
The user may not have removed the
packing material at unpacking and
installation.
Note: Even if the packing material
remains, no parts are damaged.
The user did not install the ink cartridges
completely at unpacking, installation, or
ink cartridge replacement.
A non-supported ink cartridge is installed.
The paper feed roller slips on the paper at
paper feeding.
In the high temperature and high humidity
environment, the frictional force between
the front and back sides of paper
becomes high, and sheets stick to each
other, contributing to multi-feeding.
The paper feed roller slips on the paper at
paper feeding.
Note: Depending on the paper lots.
As the LF roller slips on the paper, the
paper is not fed, causing the jam error at
paper ejecting.
