not conform to the IEEE-1284 specification.)

41.3 UNEXPECTED
PAPER SIZE

EXPECTED
[TYPE] [SIZE]
The printer detected a paper size different than what it was expecting.
This is typically caused if two or more sheets stick together in the
printer or if the paper tray is not properly adjusted.
Reload the tray with the correct paper size.
Ensure that paper in the tray is loaded under the front and back tabs.
If you are printing from tray 1, verify that the correct paper size is
selected in the control panel (see “Paper Handling Menu” on
page 210).
If you are printing from tray 2, 3, or 4, verify that the three paper size
adjustments on the paper tray have been made correctly (see the
description of adjustments in “Loading trays 2, 3, and 4” on page 47).
