MY C7280 SPITS OUT 2 SHEETS OF PAPER WHEN I WANT TO PRINT JUST 1 SHEET. It is always kicking out a blank sheet of paper first. Please help.

You probably need to clean the paper pickup roller above the paper tray. A clean cloth dipped in diluted kitchen detergent and a couple of drops of alcohol, will clean the rubber rollers. Stroke the cleaning cloth firmly from side to side all the way around all the rollers. Also clean the paper separation shoe (rubber pad) at the front of the paper tray. The last thing is to make sure your paper is dry. Damp paper sticks together

Riso's are famous for this, i will scrub the rubber timing roll with rubber rejuvenator and clean the steel roll with alcohol.The riso paper feed clutches are weak compared to what they were in this series you may have to replace the clutch. Bud, after doing some research you need to clean the oneway bearings on the pickup and feed rolls, adjust feed table hieght and lastly check/adjust timing in drive and feed roller-you will need a manual for this.


Hope this may help;

Here's the issue fix...hope it helped! ">

Turn off "Print separator page" in properties

Generally, there are printer set up programs that will let you chose to put a blank sheet or to not do that. If you have a disk or manual, look for the set up utility and go thru the tabs to find paper handling or something similar to that. There should be a check box you can clear to stop the blank page.

I hope that this information was helpful. Have a great day.

Hi,
If you go to your printer properties, preferences or advanced, on the Main menu, is paper sizes,
click the little tab, look at the sizes list,
scroll to the bottom, and you will see.
Custom sizes by User, create your User Defined cusom size.

check your paper tray is setup correctly.

should be good now.

Won't Print only Scann Message says... Out of paper

Here's a solution. Easy fix. Hope it helps!

I've seen a similar problem like that.
Turns out that the first page is not totally blank, take a VERY close look at the first page, is there a line line (hyphen) or a dot
( or something that looks like a period at the end of a sentence)
what happens is that no matter how small or insignificant it may be, it HAS to print out that doc.

or it is printing out a cover sheet, look in the manual and look to see if it has an option for cover sheets.

good luck

Hi! I have the same issue. The only solution I still use: select print from document with no paper in the hp's feeder. Let the printer go on "paper out" message, now put the paper into the feeder and press the print button on the printer. Success!
