Cause

Paper is curled.

If you are using paper with either any of the corners

or the whole printing surface curled, the paper may

become dirty, not feed properly, or both. Use such

paper after correcting paper curl as follows.

(1) With the printing side (A) facing up, cover the

paper with a fresh sheet of plain paper to avoid

staining or scratching the surface.

(2) Roll up the paper in a direction opposite to paper

curl as seen below.

(1)

(3) Check to see that the paper curl is within

approximately 0.08 to 0.2 inches / 2 to 5 mm (B)

in height.

We recommend printing curl-corrected paper one

sheet at a time.

Note

Depending on the media type, the paper may be

smudged or may not be fed properly even if it is not

curled.

In such case, follow the procedure described above

to curl the paper before printing.

This may improve the print result.

try to print with the Paper Thickness Lever set to the left.
