When I try to print several pages, my tax return or a manual I downloaded, I usually have a paper feed problem. Usually, therefore, I copy the document data to a memory stick and take it to a local office supply to print. I wonder, though, if using a different sort of paper would solve the problem. I am using what is described as a 20# bond paper, an all purpose paper for copying, printing, etc., sold by Wal-Mart. It is not a high quality paper that I might use for a resume, if I were looking for a job. Still, it is a satisfactory paper for most correspondence.
My Brother HL-2140 is a few years old; it is a small, laser printer, for B & W printing only. A print job of only a few pages does not overtax it, usually. I have changed the ink cartridge once, about 5 months ago. From that you can conclude that I do not do much printing. All the more aggravating that when I have a sizable print job, it is unreliable. The paper sometimes jams; other times, two or three sheets go into the rollers simultaneously.
I try to avoid the problem by fanning the paper in the feed tray, then carefully inserting the sheets in the tray. I don't know if that helps or makes matters worse.
Also, if I have many pages to print, I like to print on both sides of the page, according to the instructions in the Brother manual. That adds to the risk of wasted paper and time if there is a jam.
With such a printer, I am glad I have an office supply store in the neighborhood, Brother!
Any suggestions?
