Printer pulls in several sheets at once

Hold the stack by one edge and flex it back and forth, then riffle the pages with your thumb so air gets between them. Tap it square on a table before loading.

Keep the stack below the tray's maximum mark; try filling it only halfway. An overfilled tray presses several sheets against the pickup roller at once.

Slide the width and length guides until they touch the paper lightly. Guides squeezed too tight bow the stack and make sheets cling.

Don't add new paper on top of old; take the old stack out, combine, fan and reload. Keep curled or reused sheets for drafts, loaded a few at a time.

The separation pad, a small rubber or cork-like pad or a second roller, holds back extra sheets. With the printer unplugged, remove the tray and wipe the pad and rollers with a lint-free cloth dampened with water. A pad worn smooth and shiny may need replacing.

Keep paper sealed in its wrapper and stored flat, away from damp rooms. Humid paper clings together and curls.

In Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners > your printer > Printing preferences, choose the paper type that matches what's loaded, such as plain, thin or a specific photo paper.

For labels, glossy sheets or transparencies, load one or a few at a time through the manual or rear feed if your printer has one, and select that source in the print dialog.

After a double feed, cancel the rest of the job in Open print queue, then reprint just the missing pages by entering a page range in the app's print dialog.

In the print dialog, open Media & Quality and choose the media type that matches the paper in the tray.

For labels and glossy sheets, set Feed from to the manual or rear feed if your printer has one, and load a few sheets at a time.

Delete the remaining job from the printer's queue, then print again with Pages set to the range you're missing.
