Paper is loaded incorrectly.
Solutions
When horizontal banding (perpendicular to the printing direction) appears, or the top or bottom of the
paper is smeared, load paper in the correct direction and slide the edge guides to the edges of the paper.

paper path.

&
The paper is curled.
Solutions
Place the paper on a flat surface to check if it is curled. If it is, flatten it.
The printhead is rubbing the surface of the paper.
Solutions
When copying on thick paper, the print head is close to the printing surface and the paper may be
scuffed. In this case, enable the reduce scuff setting.
Select Settings > General Settings > Printer Settings, and then enable Thick Paper on the control panel.
If you enable this setting, copy quality may decline or may slow down.
Copied Photos are Sticky
The copy was made on the wrong side of the photo paper.
Solutions
Make sure you are copying on the printable side. If you have accidentally copied on the wrong side of the
photo paper, you need to clean the paper path.
