  2. Software settings: Update your print dialogue's 'Paper Size' to match the media in the tray.
  3. Reload: Take the paper out, tap it to align, and re-insert into the tray.
  4. Reset: Hit the resume or cancel button on the printer to clear the state.

Prevention and Maintenance

Keep the paper path clean and ensure the stack is under the 'Max' fill line. Regularly using standard paper sizes reduces the frequency of this error.
