Paper Does Not Feed Properly/"No Paper" Error Occurs

Content Id: 8201550400


Issue

Cause and solution

Check 1: Make sure that paper is loaded

Cause and solution

Check 2: Make sure of the following when you load paper

When loading two or more sheets of paper, flip through the paper before loading.

When loading two or more sheets of paper, align the edges of the sheets before loading.
When loading two or more sheets of paper, make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the paper load limit.

However, proper feeding of paper may not be possible at this maximum capacity depending on the type of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature and humidity). In such cases, reduce the sheets of paper you load at a time to less than half of the paper load limit.

Always load the paper in portrait orientation, regardless of the printing orientation.
When you load the paper on the rear tray, load the paper with the print side facing UP and slide the Paper Guides to align with the both sides of the paper.

Cause and solution

Check 3: Check to see if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or curled

Cause and solution

Check 4: Make sure of the following when you load envelopes

Once you have prepared the envelopes, load them in portrait orientation. If the envelopes are placed in landscape orientation, they will not feed properly.

Cause and solution

Check 5: Confirm that the media type and the paper size settings correspond with the loaded paper

Cause and solution

Check 6: Make sure that there are not any foreign objects in the rear tray

If the paper tears in the rear tray, see [ Paper Jams ] to remove it.

If there are any foreign objects in the rear tray, be sure to turn off the machine, unplug it from the power supply, then remove the foreign object.

Cause and solution

Check 7: Clean the Paper Feed Roller

Caution

Cleaning the paper feed roller will wear the roller, so perform this procedure only when necessary.
