If debris is the primary cause of failures, toner is the primary cause of debris. All toner cartridges release a small amount of toner powder into the machine. This is why it's important to clean the machine when you change the cartridge.

Is your printer feeding in the whole paper stack rather than just one piece at a time? Fan the paper before putting it in the tray to help separate the sheets. Also, store your paper in a cool, dry place as humidity can contribute to this problem.

Getting blank pages after you installed a new cartridge? Check that the sticker from the cartridge was properly removed. Alternatively, run the clean print head function to make sure all air bubbles are removed. Do not remove the cartridge once it has been installed.
