Pull down the two grey levers, one on the left-hand side and one on the
right-hand side, to position B as shown in the illustration below.

Close the back cover.
d
Choose Plain Paper mode in the printer driver and re-send the print job.
e
If the problem is not solved after printing a few pages, choose Thin
Paper mode in the printer driver and re-send the print job.
Note
When you have finished printing, open the back cover and reset the two gray
levers back to the original position.
Use thicker paper than you are now using.
