Wrong Paper Size

The error message Wrong Paper, Wrong Paper #1 or Wrong Paper #2 is displayed when the paper size setting does not match the size of paper in the tray or the driver settings. Or, the paper orientation is not correct for the paper size, or you did not set the paper guides in the tray to the indicators for the paper size you are using.

  2. Next, you will need to open and then close the ink cartridge cover.
     
    Pressing Cancel (Cancel) will only toggle between the main LCD and the error message. It does not clear the error.
     
  3. Verify the paper settings for your document.

    Depending on your application, the steps for setting the document's paper size will vary. From many applications, this setting can be accessed through the File => Page Setup => Paper Size menu. Refer to your software's documentation or software vendor for instructions on how to adjust this setting.
     
    The most common cause for this issue is that the document size setting within the application DOES NOT match the paper size that is loaded within the machine's paper tray. It is very important that you adjust the application's document size.
     
  4. When printing, you can often access and adjust the printer driver's properties.

    The steps for accessing these settings differ depending on your Operating System and Application. From many applications, clicking Properties or Preferences within the print dialogue box can access this setting.

     

    • Media Type: Select the media type to print on. The machine changes the way it places dots depending on the selected media type. For the best print results, make sure to select the correct media type.
       
    • Paper Size: This Printer Driver lets you select the size of paper and envelopes and also allows user defined sizes of paper.
       
    • Paper Source: Select the tray to use for printing. You may select Auto Select, Tray 1 or Tray 2. If you are printing from the manual feed slot, select Auto Select.
