Description

Paper Does Not Feed Properly/"No Paper" Error Occurs

Solution

 

Check 1: Make sure that paper is loaded

 


Loading Paper

Check 2: 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, regardless of the printing orientation.When you load the paper, load the paper with the print side facing DOWN and slide the paper guides to align with the sides of the paper.
  • When you load the paper, insert the paper stack until the leading edge touches the far end of the front tray.

 

 

Check 3: Check to see if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or curled

Check 4: Make sure of the following when you load envelopes

 

  • When printing on envelopes, refer to [ Loading Envelopes ], and prepare the envelopes before printing.
Once you have prepared the envelopes, load them in portrait orientation. If the envelopes are placed in landscape orientation, they will not feed properly.

 

 

Check 5: Confirm that the media type and the paper size settings correspond with the loaded paper

 

 

Check 6: If multiple sheets of plain paper is fed from the machine, select the setting for preventing double-feed of plain paper

 

If multiple sheets of plain paper is fed from the machine, select the setting for preventing double-feed of plain paper using the operation panel or your computer.
After printing is finished, disable the setting for preventing double-feed of plain paper; otherwise, the setting is applied from the next time.
  • To set by using the operation panel
Press the MENU button, select Setup, Device settings, and Print settings in this order, and then set Prevent paper double-feed to ON.
  • To set by using your computer
 
Open the printer driver setup window, and in Custom Settings in the Maintenance sheet, select the Prevent paper double-feed check box, and then click OK.
 
In the Canon IJ Printer Utility, select Custom Settings in the pop-up menu, select the Prevent paper double-feed check box, and then click Apply.
REFERENCE
Printing speed will be reduced if Prevent paper double-feed function is enabled.

 

 

Check 7: Remove the foreign object in the front tray.

 

 

Check 8: Clean the paper feed roller.

 

REFERENCE
Cleaning the paper feed roller will wear the roller, so perform this procedure only when necessary.

 


Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller

 

 

If you cannot remove the paper or the paper tears inside the machine, or if the paper jam error continues after removing the paper, service is required
