Troubleshooting
Paper Does Not Feed from the Paper Source
Specified in the Printer Driver
Paper source selection inappropriate.
You cannot load paper other than A4, Letter, or B5-sized plain paper in the
Front Tray. When using any other type of paper, load it in the Rear Tray.
Make sure that the proper paper source is selected. If not, change the paper
source using the Paper Feed Switch or the printer driver.
For details, see “Changing the Paper Source” on page 12.
Note
When printing from your computer, if a setting other than Paper Feed Switch is
selected for Paper Source in the printer driver, the printer driver settings take
precedence when printing.
For details on paper source selection using the printer driver, refer to the
PC
Printing Guide
on-screen manual.

Make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the load limit.
However, proper feeding of paper may not be possible at this maximum capacity
depending on the type of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or
low temperature and humidity).
In such cases, reduce the sheets of paper you load at a time to around half.
For details on loading paper, see “Loading Paper” on page 13.
