Paper Handling Difficulties
Difficulties Suggestions
The machine does not feed paper. Make sure the paper tray is pushed in all the way until it clicks into place.
Make sure the Jam Clear Cover at the back of the machine is closed.
If the LCD shows the Paper Jam message and you still have a problem, see Error
and maintenance messages on page 63.
If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray.
If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled,
straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and
put it back into the paper tray.
Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again.
Clean the paper pick-up rollers.
(See Advanced User’s Guide: Cleaning the paper pick-up rollers.)
Photo paper does not feed
correctly.
When you print on Brother Photo paper, load one extra sheet of the same photo
paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has been included in the paper package
for this purpose.
