The paper is curled.
Solutions
Place the paper on a flat surface to check if it is curled. If it is, flatten it.
The back of the paper was printed before the side that had already been printed was dry.
Solutions
When performing manual 2-sided printing, make sure that the ink is completely dry before reloading the
paper.
When printing using automatic 2-sided printing, the print density is too high and the drying
time is too short.
Solutions
When using the automatic 2-sided printing feature and printing high density data such as images and
graphs, set the print density to lower and the drying time to longer.
Printed Photos are Sticky
The print was made on the wrong side of the photo paper.
Solutions
Make sure you are printing on the printable side. When printing on the wrong side of the photo paper,
you need to clean the paper path.
