Out of Paper Error with Paper Loaded

An out-of-paper message can result from an empty selected tray, incorrectly loaded stack or paper size mismatch even when sheets are visible. Identify the tray the job is actually using.

Check the selected source

Read the device display and the print dialog. A manual-feed or second-tray setting can make the printer ignore paper in the main tray. Match the document's Letter or Legal size to the tray's loaded paper.

Reload correctly

Use clean, dry paper within the maker's weight specification. Keep the stack below its fill line and align guides without bending the edges. Print a built-in page to separate feeding from a Windows queue problem.

If feeding still fails

Follow the exact model's accessible roller-cleaning procedure. Do not apply liquid cleaner or take apart a sensor unless the manual calls for it. Persistent feed failure belongs with official service.
