Did you add paper to the bypass tray?

When adding paper, remove any paper remaining in the
bypass tray, combine it with the paper to be added, and
reload as a single stack. If paper is added without
removing the remaining paper, a misfeed may result.

from the paper tray.

Is the paper loaded correctly in the
paper tray?

Set the guides to the size of the paper. Make sure the
height of the paper does not exceed the indicator line.

settings, are restrictions placed on the
trays that can be used in each mode
(copy, print, fax, Internet fax, and

Check the Paper Tray Settings and see if checkmarks
appear in the checkboxes of each mode (Feeding

be used for printing using that tray.
