Paper Does Not Feed Properly
Check 1: Make sure of the following when you load paper.
When loading two or more sheets of paper, flip through the paper before loading.
When loading two or more sheets of paper, align the edges of the sheets before loading.
When loading two or more sheets of paper, make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the
paper 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 less than half of the paper load
limit.
Always load the paper in portrait orientation, either in the Rear Tray or the Cassette, regardless
of the printing orientation.
When you load the paper on the Rear Tray, load the paper with the print side facing UP and
slide the Paper Guides to align with the both sides of the paper.
When loading paper in the Cassette, load the paper with the print side facing DOWN. Align the
right edge of the paper stack against the right edge of the Cassette, slide the Paper Guide on
the front side to align with the corresponding mark of page size and slide the Paper Guide on
the left side to align with the left side of the paper stack.

Check 3: Make sure of the following when you load envelopes.

printing.
Once you have prepared the envelopes, load them in portrait orientation. If the envelopes are placed
in landscape orientation, they will not feed properly.
