My printer keeps crumpling every piece of paper that it sucks up and then proceeds to tell me that it is too small, even though it it is the correct size and is the same paper I have always used. NEED HELP ASAP

@COCO6199 Dust, paper fiber, and other debris might accumulate on the paper feed rollers and cause paper jams and paper feed issues. Clean the rollers inside the printer, and then try to print again.

  1. Gently grasp the handles on either side of the printer, and then raise the ink cartridge access door until it locks into place.

    The carriage moves to the center of the printer.

  2. Wait until the carriage is idle and silent before you proceed.

  3. Turn off the printer.

  4. Disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.

  5. Disconnect the USB cable, if it is not already disconnected.

  6. Locate the paper path cover in the area behind the ink cartridge access area.

  7. To remove the paper path cover, pinch the tabs together, and then lift up.

    2. Lift up

  8. Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth with distilled water, and then squeeze any excess liquid from the cloth.

  9. Press the cloth against the rollers inside the printer, and then rotate them upward with your fingers.

    Apply a moderate amount of pressure to remove dust or dirt buildup.
