10. Troubleshooting Paper Feed Problems If the machine is operating but paper will not feed or paper jams occur frequently, check the condition of the machine and paper. Problem Paper does not feed smoothly. Solution • Use supported types of paper. See page 60 "Supported Paper". • Load paper correctly, making sure that the side or end fences of the paper tray, or the paper guides of the bypass tray are properly adjusted. See page 46 "Loading Paper". • If the paper is curled, straighten the paper. • Take out the paper from tray and fan it well. Then, reverse the top and bottom of the paper, and put it back in the tray. Paper jams occur frequently. • If there are gaps between the paper and the side or end fences of the paper tray, or the paper guides of the bypass tray, adjust the side or end fences of the paper tray, or the paper guides of the bypass tray to remove the gaps. • Avoid printing on both sides of paper when printing images that contain large solid areas, which consume a lot of toner. • Use supported types of paper. See page 60 "Supported Paper". • Load paper only as high as the upper limit markings on the side fence. • Make sure that the friction pads and paper feed rollers are clean. See page 330 "Cleaning the Friction Pad and Paper Feed Roller". 362
