Pro 8210 printer will print only if tray completely full. It will only pick up 4 or 5 sheets before it fails to pick up more sheets in the print process. The sheet will be pulled half way out of the tray when I stop to fix it.

the printer sounds like it tries to pick up paper but won't

HP Recommended

THE PRINTER SOUNDS LIKE IT'S TRYS TO PICK UP PAPER AND THEN IT SHUTS OFF

HP Recommended

It will make a loud clicking sound when the paper doesn`t feed. After that, the printer stops and flashes the red light. I believe the message is ' jam in the paper tray ' .

Thank you for your input. I did clean the pickup roller. It helped somewhat. The printer does not malfunction as often. I will follow up as I use it more in the next few days.
