possible cause and solution
• The paper guide is not positioned correctly, so paper is not
feeding correctly.
Make sure the paper guide is close to the left edge of the
paper without bending the paper. Remove the paper, and
then move the paper guide all the way to the left. Insert the
paper into the paper tray, and then move the paper guide to
the edge of the paper as shown below.
• The document you are copying is not loaded straight in the
document feeder tray.
The document guides should be close on each side of the
original in the document feeder tray without bending the
paper. Make sure the original is loaded straight.
• The paper type is not suitable for the HP Fax. For information
on recommended papers, see
page 10.
• More than one type of paper is loaded in the paper tray.
Load only one type of paper at a time.
•
The HP Fax does not have enough paper in the paper tray.
– If the HP Fax is out of paper, or has only a few sheets
remaining in the paper tray, load more paper in the
paper tray.
– If there is paper in the paper tray, remove the paper, tap
the stack of paper against a flat surface, and reload it into
the paper tray. To continue your print job, press
the front panel.
