    Solution

      If the paper feed roller is dirty or paper powder is attached to it, paper may not be fed properly.
      In this case, clean the paper feed roller. Cleaning will wear out the paper feed roller, so perform this only when necessary.

      You need to prepare: three sheets of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper

      1. Make sure that the power is turned on.

      2. Open the paper output tray gently.
