I get a load 5-1/2 x 8-1/2R paper (Type:Plain) pop up error after every manual 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

Many times the switch that lets the printer know it's out of paper is stuck in position, or dust has clogged it. If you can blow the small bits of paper or dust out you can get it going again. I use a can of compressed air to clean my printer about once a month to stop this from happening. It is a common problem.

Paper mismatch errors occur because the product scans the width of the envelope before printing. If the paper size setting in the printer driver does not match the paper actually loaded in the product, the product reports a 'Paper Mismatch' error. The message saves paper and ink by preventing print jobs from accidentally printing on the wrong paper. For example, the print job might be for a 101.6 x 152.4 mm (4 x 6 inch) photo, but there is letter-size paper loaded in the product. The error message displays to make sure that ink is not wasted on the wrong paper type. try this out , disable the automatic paper type sensor.

1. Open the Print dialog box.
   1. In Word 2003, click File , and then click Print
   2. In Word 2007, click the Office button ( ), and then click Print .
2. Make sure that your product is in the Name drop-down list box, and then clickProperties .
3. Click the Features or Paper/Quality tab.
4. In the Paper type drop-down list, click Plain paper .
5. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
6. Click OK again to print the current print job.

In most cases if the printer is asking for an unexpected manual feed it is because the paper tray is not set to the right paper size or type. To set the paper size to the most common size and type (letter size plain paper) use the following instructions.

1. Press the Menu button.
2. Press the right arrow key until Paper Menu then press Check Mark.
3. Press the right arrow key until Size/Type then press Check Mark.
4. Press the right arrow key until Tray 1 then press Check Mark.
5. Press the right or left arrow key until Letter then press Check Mark.
6. Press the right or left arrow key until Plain then press Check Mark.
7. Press the back button until Ready is displayed.

This will set up your printer for plain letter paper and should relieve the manual feed error unless your computer is sending other paper size/type settings.

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.

Don

Is the paper pushed all the way back into the MPF?
If yes, what type/size paper is your application sending?
If you try to print the internal Printer Settings report, does it print?
This error typically means that no paper is sensed in the MPF OR that the wrong type/size paper is in the tray. (MPF settings do not match job specs)

I think what is happening is when you get the error, the printer automaticaly reprints the page it was on when it got an error condition that makes it think it didn't print the page correctly. The clearing paper path message comes up after it thinks it had a jam. Displaying load plain paper could be because either the printer is not configed for the correct type of paper you have in the tray you are trying to prin form(push the green check button, arrow downt to paper handling and see what your trays are set for.) Also there is a blue switch on the tay(looking for front of tray it will be on the right hand side of tray rail) the switch says standard or custom. The switch should be in the standard position.
Are you getting any errors or jams, if so, tell me what they are.

hi,
Check the media type and size that is set in the printer menu and also check you have same kind and type of paper u have in respective Trays.

Go to contol panel > printers and faxes > right click on printer icon > printing prefrences > go to the Tab, Paper/quality, under source select Printer auto select, click on apply.. try printing.. It will work.
any clarifications.., mail me on [email protected]

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.

Check the paper settings on your word processor. Most probably you picked either a paper type or paper size that is not plain, letter sized paper. That is why the word processor sends the job to the manual tray.
