printer off line; then feed the paper. After

The paper may be set too far to the right,
so that the paper detector cannot sense it.
Move the paper a little to the left. The
PAPER OUT light should go off.
The paper release lever may be pulled
forward to the continuous paper position.
Push the paper release lever back to the
single sheet position. Refer to 2-2.
The left and right edge guides may be too
