• If the Printer Status Report prints, try printing the original document again. If the issue is resolved, there is no need to continue troubleshooting.
• If the issue persists, continue with the next solution.
• If the Printer Status Report does not print, continue with the next solution.

1. Remove the stack of paper from the tray.
2. Check for obstructions inside the tray. Use a flashlight to view the mechanism inside the tray to make sure that nothing blocks the paper from engaging with the rollers. Even small pieces of paper can cause paper feed issues.

   note:

   If you find obstructions in the paper path, skip to the section on cleaning the rollers.

3. Examine the condition of the paper, and then replace any ripped, dusty, curled, wrinkled, or bent paper.
4. Make sure that all the paper in the stack is the same size and type. Never load mixed types of paper in the tray. The printer can only process one type of paper at a time.
5. Tap the stack of paper on a flat surface to align the edges.
6. Make sure that the stack of paper contains no fewer than 10 sheets and no more than 25 sheets of paper.

   note:

   You need to use 10 to 25 sheets of paper only for purposes of these troubleshooting steps. When the issue is resolved, you can resume loading paper according to the paper tray capacity specifications for your printer.

1. Raise the output tray.

2. To load oversized paper, pull the input tray extender out as far as possible.
3. Slide out the paper width guides as far as possible.
4. Insert a stack of clean, unused, plain paper into the input tray with the short edge forward and the print side down.

     caution:

   Do not load paper while the printer is printing. Jams or paper feed issues might occur.

5. Position the stack of paper in the center of the input tray, and then slide the stack forward until it stops.
6. Adjust the paper width guides so that they rest against the stack of paper. Do not push the guides in so tightly that they bind against the paper.

• If the Printer Status Report prints, try printing the original document again. If the issue is resolved, there is no need to continue troubleshooting.
• If the issue persists, continue with the next solution.
• If the Printer Status Report does not print, continue with the next solution.

• If the test page prints, try printing the original document again. If the issue is resolved, there is no need to continue troubleshooting.
• If the test page prints, but the original document does not, continue to the next solution in this document.
• If the test page does not print, try printing the page again. Listen for the rubber paper-pick rollers; you should be able to hear them rotating. Then, try slowly pushing the paper farther in until the roller engages to pick up the paper. Be careful not to push the paper in too far, which can cause paper jams.
  • If the test page does not print when slowly pushing the paper farther in, repeat the previous steps to clean the rollers again. If the issue continues after repeated cleaning, skip the next solution in this document, and then service the printer.
  • If the test page prints when slowly pushing the paper farther in, try printing the original document again. The paper might not have been loaded far enough into the printer. If the issue is resolved, there is no need to continue troubleshooting.
  • If the paper only feeds through the printer when you slowly push it farther in, repeat the previous steps to clean the rollers again. If the issue continues after repeated cleaning, skip the next solution in this document, and then service the printer.

Microsoft designed the Windows 8 interface for use with touchscreen monitors. In some areas of this document, the instructions direct you to "click" an element on the screen. In Windows 8, users with touchscreens can also tap those elements to perform the task.
