These problems can happen if you add paper on top of paper that is still in a paper tray.
Fan the paper loaded in the tray and reload it into the tray. Add paper to the tray only
when the tray is out of paper.
Are you trying to print on postcards with pre-printed pictures?
If you load postcards with printed pictures, the anti set-off powder sticks to the feed rolls
preventing the postcards from being fed properly. In such case, clean the feed rolls.
Refer to
• "Cleaning the Feed Rolls" (P. 203)
The feed rolls may be worn out or have reached their end-of-life.
Clean the feed rolls.

select a paper tray from the

Did you switch on the power when the trays are removed from the printer?
If you did, the printer may not correctly sensor the size of paper loaded in the printer.
Push the trays firmly into the printer, and switch the printer off and then on again.
Are the paper guides adjusted properly?
If the paper guides are not positioned correctly, the printer may not correctly sensor the
size of the paper loaded. Adjust the paper guides properly.
Check whether the paper size and paper type settings on the print driver and the control
panel are set correctly.

• " [Printer Settings]" (P. 119)
