Paper Feed Problems
If the machine is operating but paper will not feed or paper jams frequently, check the condition of the
machine and paper.
Problem Solution
Paper does not feed smoothly. • Use supported types of paper. See page 57 "Supported
Paper".
• Load paper correctly, making sure that the paper guides
are properly adjusted. See page 71 "Loading Paper".
• If the paper is curled, straighten the paper.
• Take out the paper from the tray and fan it well. Then,
reverse the top and bottom of the paper, and put it back
in the tray.
Paper jams frequently. • If there are gaps between the paper and paper guides,
adjust the paper guides to remove the gaps.
• Avoid printing on both sides of paper when printing
images that contain large solid areas, which consume a
large amount of toner.
• Use supported types of paper. See page 57 "Supported
Paper".
• Load paper only as high as the upper limit markings on
the paper guide.
• Make sure that the friction pads, paper feed rollers or
registration rollers are clean. See page 288 "Cleaning
the Friction Pad and Paper Feed Roller".
