Paper Feeding Problems
If you have problems feeding paper, try these solutions:
- If paper does not feed for
printing, remove it from the rear feed slot or cassette. Reload it against the
right side, then adjust the edge guides. Make sure the paper stack is not above
the tab on the edge guides inside the cassette.
- If multiple pages feed at
once, remove the paper, fan the edges to separate the sheets, and reload it.
- Do not load more than the
recommended number of sheets.
- If paper jams when you
print on both sides of the paper, try loading fewer sheets.

these guidelines:

high-quality paper that is not curled, creased, old, too thin, or too thick.
