Tray and Paper Feed Problems
Trouble during Copying
Symptom Cause/Remedy
Paper does not feed
properly.
Paper jams occur.
Multiple sheets feed at
once.
Paper feeds skewed.
Output is wrinkled.
Load the paper correctly. Before loading heavy media, such as labels or
postcards, or envelopes, fan them well to allow air to enter between
each sheet.
The paper is damp. Replace the paper.
Load appropriate paper.
Paper may still wrinkle depending on its type and condition.
Push the trays firmly into the machine.
Install the printer on a level, sturdy surface.
Adjust the paper guides to the correct positions.
Do not add paper to a paper tray that still contains paper. Fan the
paper loaded in the tray well and reload it into the tray. Add paper to
the tray only when the tray is out of paper.
The machine does not
correctly select a paper
tray.
If the paper guides are not positioned correctly, the machine may not
correctly detect the size of the paper loaded. Adjust the paper guides
to the correct positions.
Check whether the tray, paper size and paper type settings on the
printer driver properties screen and Control Panel are configured
correctly.
The paper is dogeared. The paper is dog-eared if it is warped (curled). If the following does not
solve the problem, replace the paper.
Flatten the paper to correct the warped page.
Turn the paper over.
If Tray 1, 2, 3 or 4 has been used, use the Bypass Tray instead of it.
The machine does not
feed paper from the
Bypass Tray.
[Automatically Select] is selected for the [Paper Tray] setting on the
[Tray/Output] tab of the printer driver. Select [Tray 5 (Bypass)] or set
the Bypass Tray for auto tray selection when [Automatically Select] is
specified.
Lead edge of paper is
folded over when the
paper is fed from the
Bypass Tray.
The paper is damp. Replace the paper.
Reduce the paper loaded in the Bypass Tray to 30 sheets or less.
Change the paper loading orientation. Feed paper from Paper Tray 1,
2, 3 or 4.
Symptom Cause/Remedy
The document is not
correctly fed from the
Document Feeder.
Check the minimum size of document that can be loaded on the
Document Feeder and load appropriately sized documents.
Do not feed irregularly sized documents, business cards,
transparencies, or thin documents from the Document Feeder. In
addition, do not feed documents with sticky tags, paper clips, adhesive
tape, or staples.
Adjust the document guides correctly to the document.
When loading documents of mixed sizes, configure settings in [Mixed
Size Originals]. Otherwise, a paper jam will occur. Set [Mixed Size
Originals] to [On].
