Why won't my Brother Laser printer feed paper?

  If your Brother Laser printer is not feeding paper, ensure the paper in the tray is straight and not curled. If curled, straighten it before printing. Try removing the paper, turning the stack over, and placing it back in the tray. If the issue persists, replace the paper, reduce the amount of paper in the tray, ensure that manual feed mode is not selected in the printer driver, and clean the paper pick-up roller.
