'Load plain paper' message

"load plain paper" message appears, and after loading plain paper, it does not dissapear.
after restarting the printer it says ready to print, but then the message comes up once a print job is requested.

  • Anonymous Aug 14, 2008

    For some reason, our printer will not stop displaying the message "Load MPF Plain Letter 1" even though there is paper loaded. We have tried restarting it & have messed with it several times to no avail. Please help!

Make sure that you have set the same paper type on both the printer driver and on the printer itself, using the on-printer menu. When I get this message, I usually had forgotten to change the paper type on the printer.

Error load paper and beep when i print

More info would be helpful. Like exactly what is the control panel message. However, from your description it sounds like the machine is looking for a paper size or type not loaded or wants paper loaded in the manual feed tray. Check your driver and see which paper tray is selected and what type paper as well as checking the printer to see if the tray is set to plain paper or some other type.

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/charles_45d8d6c78cd9f0b6

Error message to "Load Paper"

Push something thicker than a plain sheet of paper through. Cut a side of a manilla folder into a 8.5"x11" and let the printer try to grab it during a copy. After doing it's normal "grab the right side until it's skewed and stop", continue to try to push it through.

Prints 2 pages and says to load paper

Somehow after adding paper you changed the paper size to B5. Change it back to Letter and it should resolve your problems

Printer is loaded with paper but get message

Although you really haven't given me enough information, I will posit and response for you.

A "Load Paper Error can be caused by the application telling you to change the "TYPE or SIZE" of paper that is in your paper tray.

For example, The application thinks you want the page printed on "Letterhead" paper, but it know that you have plain bond paper installed.

So you are sent a change paper type message.

The fix is to hit go and skip around that error.

The actual fix is to make sure that your printer driver, application and the printer are all set to the same size paper and type paper.
