Your computer is not recognising the machine's input buffer's full signal. Make sure
that you connected the interface cable correctly.
(See Quick Setup Guide)
Check that the paper size setting in the application and in the printer driver are the
same.
Try changing the printer driver setting. The highest quality needs longer data
processing, sending and printing time.
Reduce the print quality.

Suggestions
If the paper tray is empty, 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,
straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and put
it back in the paper tray.
Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again.
Make sure that manual feed mode is not selected in the printer driver.
Clean the paper pick-up roller.
(See Cleaning the paper pick-up roller on page 152.)
Make sure that Manual is selected in the printer driver.
Load one envelope at a time in the Manual feed slot. Your application must be set to
print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or
Document Setup menu of your application.
(See your application's manual for more information.)
