The Edges Of The Paper Are Dirty - Canon iPF8300S User Manual

Cause
Since the leading edge of the pa-
per strongly warps upward or rip-
ples, the leading edge of the pa-
per rubs against the printhead.

borderless printing or printing on
small paper.

the printer does not match the type
specified in the printer driver.

easily after absorbing ink.
The Ejection Guide is soiled.
