The MFC prints the part of 
my document but does not 
print the last page (The LCD 
shows 

REMAINED 

DATA

).

This is common problem first with database software and part 
of spreadsheet software when they are not correctly set up. 
The data has been sent to the printer but the printer did not 
receive the Page Eject command. Press 

Reset

 to eject the 

page. Then ask your software supplier how to add a Page Eject 
(or Form Feed) command to the end of your print job. 

How can I change the user 
settings or default settings on 
the MFC?

Use the Remote Printer Console (RPC) program.

Paper Handling Difficulties

The MFC does not load 
paper. The LCD shows 

CHECK PAPER

 or 

PAPER 

JAM

.

Check to see if the 

CHECK PAPER

 or 

PAPER JAM

 

message appears on the LCD. If it is empty, load a new stack 
of paper into the paper cassette. If there is paper in the paper 
cassette, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, you 
should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the 
paper, turn the stack over and put it back into the paper 
cassette. Reduce the amount of paper in the paper cassette, 
then try again. Check the manual feed mode is not selected in 
the printer driver.

The MFC does not feed paper 
from the manual feed slot.

Reinsert the paper firmly, load one sheet at a time. Make sure 
that manual feed mode is selected in the printer driver.

How can I load envelopes?

You can load envelopes from the manual feed slot. Your 
application software must be set up to print the envelope size 
you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or 
Document Setup menu of your software. Refer to your 
software application manual. 

What paper can I use?

You can use plain paper, envelopes, transparencies and labels 
that are made for laser machines. (For information on paper 
you can use, see 

Acceptable Paper, 

page 2-5.)

How can I clear paper jams?

See 

Paper Jam, 

page 21-4.

Print Quality Difficulties

Printed pages are curled.

Thin Paper (17lb-18.4lb) can cause this problem. Make sure 
you select the Paper Type that suits the paper in your multi-
purpose sheet feeder. (See 

Paper Type, 

page 11-8 and 11-9 

and 

Media Type, 

page 14-4.)

Printed pages are smeared.

Rough surfaces or thick media can cause “smeared pages”
—

OR

—“the toner to smear”. Make sure you select the correct 

Paper Type that suits the paper in your multi-purpose sheet 
feeder. (See 

Paper Type, 

page 11-8 and 11-9 and 

Media Type, 

page 14-4.)

Printouts are too dark or light.

Adjust the print conditions in the Print Density setting. It has 
been factory set to the middle position. (See 

Setting the Print 

Density, 

page 5-4.)
