Solving Problems with Media Misfeeds
"
Frequent misfeeds in any area indicate that area should be checked,
repaired, or cleaned. Repeated misfeeds may also happen if you’re
using unsupported print media.

Solution
Several
sheets go
through the
printer
together.
The front edges of
the media are not
even.
Remove the media and even up the
front edges, then reload it.
The media is moist
from humidity.
Remove the moist media and replace it
with new, dry media.
Too much static elec-
tricity is present.
Do not fan transparencies.
Media mis-
feed mes-
sage stays

needs to be opened
and closed again to
reset the printer.
Open and close the right side cover of
the printer again.
Some media remains
misfed in the printer.
Recheck the media path and make
sure that you have removed all of the
misfed media.

Make sure that you have not mixed
media types in Tray 1.
Do not duplex (double-sided) enve-
lopes, labels, thick stock, glossy, or
transparencies.
Media is still being
misfed.
Recheck the media path inside the
duplex option and make sure that you
have removed all of the misfed media.
