Check to see that paper is correctly loaded in the trays and that all repeated paper width guides are correctly set (not skewed). See Chapter 2, "Printing jam problems Tasks." 2. Make sure that the paper tray is set for the size of paper installed and that the tray is not overloaded with paper. 3. Try turning over the stack of paper in the tray. If you are using letterhead paper, try printing from Tray 1. 4. Do not use previously printed paper or torn, worn, or irregular paper. For recommended paper and other paper for your printer, see page 328. 5. Check the paper specifications. (If paper is outside of the recommended specifications, problems may occur.)
