Printed colors may appear uneven on the leading edge of paper that is suscepti-
ble to curling. Select a stronger level in VacuumStrngth in the Control Panel
menu to increase suction against the paper, or specify a leading margin of 20
mm (0.79 in) or more.
(See "Adjusting the Vacuum Strength (VacuumStrngth).")
Choose a higher level of Print Quality in the Advanced Settings of the printer
driver.
Printing in Fast or Standard mode is faster and consumes less ink than in
Highest quality or High modes, but the printing quality is lower.
(See "Giving Priority to Particular Graphic Elements and Colors for Print-
ing.")
Select Unidirectional Printing in the Advanced Settings of the printer driver.
Specify No in Auto Cut in the printer driver before printing. In this case, the
paper can be printed without borders on the left and right sides only. Cut the
printed document ejected from the printer, and then use scissors or a cutting tool
to cut away the edges on the top and bottom.
Choose a higher level of Print Quality in the Advanced Settings of the printer
driver.
