4. Remove any paper from the input tray, and then examine the condition of the paper:

   • Replace any ripped, curled, wrinkled, or bent paper.

   • Avoid printing on paper that is dusty. Reload paper that has been in the photo tray for a time.

   • Make sure that all the paper in the stack is the same size and type. The printer can only process one type of paper at a time.

5. Load plain white paper in the input tray. Make sure that the print side is face-down and the short edge is forward.

   You need to load no fewer than 10 sheets and no more than 25 sheets of plain white paper only for troubleshooting. When the issue is resolved, you can load paper according to the specifications for your printer.
