Paper Handling
Problem
Solution
Paper does not feed
properly
(continued).
More than one page at
a time feeds into the
printer.
The
paper
feeds but
then jams at the output
area.
You may not have fanned the paper
sufficiently to ensure smooth paper
feeding. If the paper has jammed, remove
the jammed sheet or sheets as described
in the section on paper jams in this
chapter. Remove the paper from the
paper cassette, fan it, and reinsert it in the
cassette. Then try printing again.
Also, remember that poor quality paper
can cause paper feeding errors of this
type. Make sure your paper supply is not
too thin or too rough.
If you are using manual feed, be sure the
paper cassette is about half-full to prevent
feeding from the paper cassette.
See Chapter 4 for information on the
types of paper that can be fed
automatically and the types that require
manual feeding.
There may be too much paper in the
output tray. Never let more than 20 sheets
of paper accumulate in the faceup output
tray, or more than 150 sheets accumulate
in the facedown output tray on top of the
printer.
