Paper Feed Problems

If the machine is operating but paper will not feed or paper jams occur frequent-

ly, check the condition of the machine and paper.

Problem

Solution

Paper does not feed smoothly.

•

Use supported types of paper. See p.56 “Supported Pa-

per for Each Tray”.

•

Load paper correctly, making sure that the paper guides

are properly adjusted. See p.65 “Loading Paper”.

•

If the paper is curled, straighten the paper.

•

Take out the paper from tray and fan it well. Then, re-

verse the top and bottom of the paper, and put it back in

the tray.

Paper jams occur frequently.

•

If there are gaps between the paper and the paper guides,

adjust the paper guides to remove the gaps.

•

Avoid printing on both sides of paper when printing im-

ages that contain large solid areas, which consume a lot

of toner.

•

Use supported types of paper. See p.56 “Supported Pa-

per for Each Tray”.

•

Load paper only as high as the upper limit markings on

the paper guide.

•

Make sure that the friction pads and paper feed rollers

are clean. See p.314 “Cleaning the Friction Pad and Paper

Feed Roller”.

Multiple sheets of paper are fed

at one time.

•

Fan the paper well before loading. Also make sure that

the edges are even by tapping the stack on a flat surface

such as a desk.

•

Make sure that the paper guides are in the right position.

•

Use supported types of paper. See p.56 “Supported Pa-

per for Each Tray”.

•

Load paper only as high as the upper limit markings on

the paper guide.

•

Make sure that the friction pads and paper feed rollers

are clean. See p.314 “Cleaning the Friction Pad and Paper

Feed Roller” .
