Paper Does Not Feed Properly
Cause What to do
The paper guides are not set correctly. Make sure that the paper guides in all the paper cassettes and the MP
tray are set to the correct paper size positions.
The paper source setting may not be correct. Make sure that you have selected the correct paper source in your
application.
There may be no paper in the paper source. Load paper into the selected paper source.
The size of loaded paper differs from the control panel
or printer driver settings.
Make sure that the correct paper size and paper source are set in the
control panel or printer driver.
The printer may have loaded more than one sheet at a
time.
Remove the paper stack and fan it. Tap it on a flat surface to even the
edges, then reload the paper.
Too many sheets may be loaded in the MP tray or paper
cassettes.
Make sure that you have not tried to load too many sheets of paper.
For the maximum paper capacity for each paper source, see
“Available Paper and Capacities” on page 37.

unit, the unit may not be installed properly.

automatically update the installed option information.
❏ Select the Manual Settings check box and click Settings to do
