The platen rotates but the printer does not feed the paper.

Cause

What to do

The edge guides are pressed
too tightly against the paper.

Reinsert the paper all the way into
the printer. Make sure that the edge
guides are not too tight and
abstructing the paper.

The paper release lever is set
to the tractor position.

Set the paper release lever to the
single-sheet position. See “Setting the
paper release lever” on page 3-4.

Paper feeding is crooked or the paper jams.

Cause

What to do

The paper guide is not
properly installed.

Remove the paper guide and install it
as described in “Attaching the paper
guide” on page 1-8.

The edge guides are not
positioned correctly.

Move the edge guides so that they
match the width of your paper.

You may not be using the
right type of paper for the
printer.

Be sure you’re using the right type of
paper. See the paper specifications on
page A-4.

The paper is old or creased.

Use only new, clean sheets of paper.

Note:
If paper is jammed in the paper path, see
“Clearing a Paper Jam” on page 8-24.

The printer does not fully eject the paper.

Cause

What to do

You may not be able to fully
eject your paper using the

LF/FF

button.

Use the

Load/Eject

button to eject the

paper.
