Paper loading or feeding problems

The printer does not load single-sheet paper or does not feed
it properly.
Cause
Continuous paper is in the
paper path.
The paper release lever is set
to a tractor position.
The paper on the paper
guide is positioned too far to
the left or right for the
printer to detect that it is
there.
Single-sheet paper is not
loaded properly.
The paper-thickness lever is
not set correctly.
Paper is creased, old, too
thin, or too thick.

Troubleshooting
What to do
Press the Load/Eject button to feed
the continuous paper back to the
standby position. Set the paper
release lever to the single-sheet
position and insert a new sheet. (See
"Switching to printing on single
sheets" on page 2-26 for more
information.)
Set the paper release lever to the
single-sheet position.
Move the paper (and the edge guides)
a little to the left or right.
See Chapter 2 or the Reference Guide
for instructions on loading
single-sheet paper.
Set the paper-thickness lever to match
the thickness of your paper. See
page 2-2 for instructions.
Use new, clean sheets of paper.
