To get good quality prints, you have to make sure that

• the paper is flat and undamaged. If the paper is bent, it is important that the curving of the paper is towards the front of printer.
• the paper is clean, with no holes or perforations on the sheet.
• the paper does not have a shiny or glossy surface.

What do I do when I encounter the ‘no paper feed’ situation?
The “no paper feed” situation can occur when the sheet position is used for heavy or very stiff paper. Switch to CARD position and testing again. No feed can also be a result of a combination of reasons such as; dusty pick-up rollers, damaged or holed paper and improper paper installation of the sheet-feed.
