Tip Three: Ensure Proper Printer Alignment
 
There are a number of factors that could possibly cause the “out of paper” error and one of them could be that the ink cartridges are not properly aligned with the printer. Apart from the misaligned ink cartridges, the paper might not also be aligned well or might exceeds the maximum paper capacity. Whichever way, endeavor to check your printer’s alignment, but should be done after turning off your printer and unplugging it.
 
Tip Four: Inspect the Printer for foreign objects/ materials
 
Any blockage or clog in the printer may affect the printer’s output thus causing the ‘out of paper’ error as well as paper jam in some cases. It is therefore advisable to check out if there are any external objects or materials in the rollers.
 
Tip Five: Swap/clean paper rollers and sensors
