The paper wont feed the correct way what do i do?

check you tray settings for the correct paper size. check your feed rollers.

Below would be the suggested solution regarding paper feeding problems;

If Paper does not feed into the machine.
• Remove any obstructions inside the machine.
• Paper has not been loaded correctly. Remove paper from the
tray and reload it correctly.
• There is too much paper in the paper tray. Remove excess
paper from the tray.
• The paper is too thick. Use only paper that meets the
specifications required by the machine.

Below is the suggested paper specifications;
Supported Sizes of Paper
Paper Dimensions* Weight Capacity**
Letter 8.5 X 11 in. (216 X 279mm)
• 60 to 105 g/m2 bond (16 to 28 lb) for the paper tray
• 60 to 120 g/m2 bond (16 to 32 lb) for the Bypass tray
• 250 sheets of 75 g/ m2 bond (20 lb) paper for the paper tray
• 1 sheet of paper for the Bypass tray A4 210 X 297 mm (8.3 X 11.7 in.)
Executive 7.25 X 10.5 in. (191 X 267 mm)
Legal 8.5 X 14 in. (216 X 356 mm)
Folio 216 X 330 mm (8.5 X 13 in.)

Hope this helps!

Some of your rollers might not be working.

it might be that the paper is not in far another ore there might be a paper jam

Just a thought,as I had a similar problem.The instructions are abysmal,but it may be worth having a look where you feed the paper in and squeezing the grey plastic gizmo,and moving it to the left to allow the paper to enter the feed properly.

It's just one of four things............

1. The paper is not loaded correctly on the correct path.

2. The paper is loaded correctly on the correct path but the "PAPER PATH" selected in the printer driver box or printer preference or application used is not set correctly to grab the paper from the correct path.

3. The paper path sensor is defective which means that the printer needs to be taken to a servicer or you need to contact epson for warranty options

4. The paper being used is too thick for the printer to feed it

Front LCD reads error "Check Paper & Retry" When paper is inserted and loaded correctly and machine is reclosed the printer then initializes then reverses the feed of the paper and is ejected and error continues to reappear.

The most likely culprit is that the rollers that pull the paper are dirty. Use the steps below to clean the rollers.

If paper does not feed correctly, perform the following to clean the paper feed rollers:
1) Confirm that the printer is powered on.
2) Remove any paper from the printer.
3) Press and hold the <Resume/Cancel> button.
4) Release the <Resume/Cancel> button after the Power lamp blinks three times.

Note: The Power lamp will blink and the paper feed roller starts cleaning itself by revolving.
5) When the Power lamp lights in green, repeat Steps 3 and 4 up to two additional times. (Please wait approx. 30 seconds for paper feed roller cleaning to complete.)
6) To confirm whether cleaning has been performed properly, set a blank sheet of plain paper (8 1/2 x 11 Letter size) in the sheet feeder or cassette.
7) Press and hold the <Resume/Cancel> button and release it when the Power lamp blinks three times. (The paper set in the printer is picked up and fed.)
8) Repeat the process as necessary

paper feed rollers wont feed paper through and also paper tray is empty prompt comes up when there is paper in the tray tried small amounts of paper and still says tray is empty

Feed roller is dirty or worn thin, wipe rubber roller with damp cloth.
