Recycled or Thin Paper Is Severely Curled after Printing

If the delivered paper is curled, it cannot be stacked properly. In such a case, raise the paper stop on
the output tray and remove the delivered paper frequently. You can also configure [Curl Prevention] in
the UP mode
• [Menu] key > System Settings > Maintenance > Curl Prevention
If you set [Curl Prevention] to [Active], the machine idles for 20 seconds before it starts printing. By
adding the idle time before printing, it takes longer to print, but paper curling can be reduced. To stop
the 20-second idling, set [Curl Prevention] to [Inactive].
