8. Press the [Menu] button to exit.

Im getting code 024-963 everytime. It pulls the paper the shows me the error, and sometimes gives me a false jam. The thing is, if i try printing a few times it does after the 20th attempt, and if its a few pages then it doesnt print the second one. I've checked everything on adobe reader and on the printer and nothing changed. How do i factory reset this thing???

It's not asking for just paper, it is asking for a specific paper. It will also have a fault code that can tell you more.

Fault Code 024-958: Paper Size Mismatch Message
 
Fault Code 024-963: No Suitable Paper
 
As for the cause, it could be that the driver is using normal settings, but someone put in the paper at the printer and set it to cardstock, in which case you would need to change the paper type at the machine back to plain (if that is whats loaded) or set the driver to print on cardstock instead of plain.

I'm trying to print a single freaking page, ONE PAGE , and it keep's telling me "please load paper then press OK". i literally fed any amount of paper i can shove up those two slots and it still gives me the beep...
i've reinstalled the software, changed everything to A4 (pdf,office,printer software,etc)
except for factory reseting the printer which i cant find how.

If i wont find a solution on these forums i'll literally take it to work and smash it with a sledge hammer.
