Troubleshooting

If  is displayed
When  appears on the LCD display, the size of the paper in 
the paper cassette or multi-purpose tray is different from that of the paper specified 
in  or  in the  menu. 
You need to load the correct size paper or change the paper size in the  menu.
For paper in the multi-purpose tray, changing the paper size in the  menu does not 
clear the error. Cancel the copy job from the system monitor first, and then change the paper size.
For print jobs, you need to specify the paper size from your computer.
Re-loading the Paper
 
1 Load the correct size paper as shown on the LCD display, then press [OK] to 
resume the job.
