the edges, then reload the paper.
The problem may be with your application or interface
cable.
Print out a configuration status sheet. See “Printing a
Configuration Status Sheet” on page 151. If a blank page is

MP Tray Size
setting may be incorrect.
When loading paper for which the size is not specified with
