I'm having paper feed problems. What should I do?

  • If you have problems feeding paper, try these solutions:

    • Make sure paper is loaded in the correct orientation. Load cut sheets vertically (short edge first).
    • For best results, follow these guidelines:
      • Use new, smooth, high-quality paper that is not damp, curled, creased, old, too thin, or too thick.
      • Follow any special loading instructions that came with the paper.
    • If roll paper does not feed, cut the end straight across and uncurl it by rolling it backward, if necessary. Then reload the paper.
    • If you cannot insert paper easily into the paper feed slot, make sure the paper is perfectly flat and not curled.
    • Do not load more than one piece of cut sheet paper.
    • Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.
    • If thick media does not feed, make sure you are loading it straight into the product, not at an angle.
    • If paper does not eject correctly, decrease the Paper Suction setting for the loaded paper type.
    • Make sure that paper is not jammed inside the product.
