Prints are Scuffed or Smeared

If your prints are scuffed or smeared, try these solutions:
• Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.
• Make sure you selected the correct Media Type setting in the printer driver that matches the paper
loaded in the printer.
• Do not use paper with folds or creases and always use new media.
• If you are using cut sheet paper, check that changes in humidity and temperature have not made the
paper wavy or curled up on the edges. Flatten the paper before loading it or use new paper.
• If the surface of the paper is scuffed, select a wider Platen Gap setting.
• If you are printing on thick paper, make sure the Thick Paper setting is enabled in the Printer
Settings menu.
