try again.
Paper is jammed in the printer. The paper may be caught inside the
printer. Clear the paper jam.

banner, the printer is waiting for you to remove the extra banner paper
from the IN tray before ejecting the last page of the banner. Remove the
banner paper, and then press the Resume button.
The Banner Lever does not match the driver setting. Check the setting.
The printer is waiting to drop the paper. If you are printing on
transparencies or other slow drying media, the printer may be waiting for
the ink to dry before dropping the page. If you press the Resume button,
the page will be dropped immediately.
