FAQ: Paper Does Not Feed Properly

Helpful Information:

Check 1: Make sure of the following when you load paper

Check 2: Check to see if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or curled

Check 3: Make sure of the following when you load envelopes

Check 4: Confirm the paper source setting

Check 5: Remove the foreign object in the Cassette

Check 6: Make sure that there are not any foreign objects in the Rear Tray

Check 7: Make sure that the Inner Cover is closed completely

Check 8: Clean the Paper Feed Roller

Check 9: If two or more sheets of paper feed from the Cassette at once, clean the inside of the Cassette

Check 10: Is the Rear Cover closed completely?

Solution:

Check 1: Make sure of the following when you load paper

When loading two or more sheets of paper, flip through the paper before loading.

When loading two or more sheets of paper, align the edges of the sheets before loading.
When loading two or more sheets of paper, make sure that the paper stack does not exceed the paper load limit. However, proper feeding of paper may not be possible at this maximum capacity depending on the type of paper or environmental conditions (either very high or low temperature and humidity). In such cases, reduce the sheets of paper you load at a time to less than half of the paper load limit.
Always load the paper in portrait orientation, either in the Rear Tray or the Cassette, regardless of the printing orientation.
When you load the paper on the Rear Tray, load the paper with the print side facing UP and slide the Paper Guides to align with the both sides of the paper.
When loading paper in the Cassette, slide the Paper Guide on the front side to align with the corresponding mark of page size. Load the paper with the print side facing DOWN, align the right edge of the paper stack against the right side of the Cassette, then slide the Paper Guide on the left side to align with the left edge of the paper stack.

Paper Sources to Load Paper

The machine has two paper sources to feed paper; Cassette and Rear Tray.
You can load paper in either one of the paper sources, depending on the page size and media type of paper. Paper is fed from the Cassette or Rear Tray depending on the selection of the page size or media type.
See [ Media Types You Can Use ]

NOTE

When printing, select the correct page size and media type. If you select the wrong page size or media type, the machine may feed paper from the wrong paper source or may not print with the proper print quality. For details on how to load paper in each paper source, see [ Loading Paper in the Cassette ] or [ Loading Paper in the Rear Tray ].

Loading Plain Paper in the Cassette

When you use A4, B5, A5, or Letter-sized plain paper, load it in the Cassette.
The machine feeds paper from the Cassette automatically by selecting plain paper (A4, B5, A5, or Letter size) in the print settings with the Operation Panel or the printer driver when printing.

Loading Photo Paper / Envelopes in the Rear Tray

When you use photo paper, load it in the Rear Tray.
The machine feeds paper from the Rear Tray automatically by selecting the media types other than plain paper, such as photo paper, in the print settings with the Operation Panel or the printer driver when printing.
When you use plain paper other than A4, B5, A5, or Letter size, also load it in the Rear Tray.

Loading Paper in the Cassette

You can load only A4, B5, A5, or Letter-sized plain paper in the Cassette.
Load other sizes or types of paper in the Rear Tray.

1. Prepare paper.
Align the edges of paper. If paper is curled, flatten it.

NOTE

Align the edges of paper neatly before loading. Loading paper without aligning the edges may cause paper jams.
If paper is curled, hold the curled corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction until the paper becomes completely flat. For details on how to flatten curled paper, refer to [ Paper Is Smudged/Printed Surface Is Scratched ]

2. Load paper.
(1) Close the Output Tray Extension
(A)(1).
Close the Paper Output Tray (B)(2).

Items to Prepare

The following items are needed to print onto the printable disc:

Disc Tray

"G" is on the upper side.

3.15 inches / 8 cm Disc Adapter

Needed only when printing on 3.15 inches / 8 cm printable discs.
Attached to the Disc Tray when shipped.

IMPORTANT

You need to print from the computer to print on 3.15 inches / 8 cm printable discs.

Printable Discs

Obtain a 4.72 inches / 12 cm or 3.15 inches / 8 cm printable disc with a label surface compatible with inkjet printing.
A "printable disc" differs from regular BD/DVD/CDs in that its label surface has been specially processed to be printed on by an inkjet printer.

Cautions When Printing on the Disc Label

Be sure to use the Disc Tray supplied with this machine. It has an "G" on the upper side.
Do not print on printable discs that are not compatible with inkjet printing. The ink will not dry and may cause problems with the disc itself or devices which the disc is loaded onto.
Do not print on the printable discs' recording surface. Doing so will make data recorded on discs unreadable.
Hold the printable discs by their edges. Do not touch either the label surface (printing surface) or recording surface.
Remove any dirt from the Disc Tray before placing printable discs on the Disc Tray. Loading discs in a dirty Disc Tray may scratch the recording surface of the discs.
After printing, allow the printing surface of the disc to dry naturally. Do not use hairdryers or expose the disc to direct sunlight to dry the ink. Do not touch the printing surface until the ink has dried.
Do not attach the Disc Tray while the machine is in operation.
Do not remove the Disc Tray while printing on printable discs. Doing so may damage the machine, the Disc Tray, or the disc.
Do not get dirt or scratches on the reflectors of the Disc Tray. The machine may not be able to recognize loading of the printable disc, or printing may become misaligned. If the reflectors on the Disc Tray become dirty, wipe the reflector clean with a soft, dry cloth, taking care not to scratch the plate.
The Disc Tray may become dirty if software other than CD-LabelPrint or Easy-PhotoPrint EX is used.
Always use the supplied 3.15 inches / 8 cm Disc Adapter when printing on 3.15 inches / 8 cm printable discs.
Always close the Inner Cover after printing on printable discs.
To keep the print quality at an optimal level, it is recommended to stop printing discs once every ten discs when printing more than ten discs continuously. To stop the printing operation, detach the Disc Tray from the machine, then close the Inner Cover. After approximately three minutes have elapsed, open the Inner Cover, attach the Disc Tray to the machine, then resume printing.
