Print-Quality Troubleshooting
The print is usually damaged in a corner
with solid fills. This problem is more
often seen on short-grain media. Some
wrinkling on envelopes flaps is an
acceptable limitation of this printer. You
may see wrinkling on the second side of
a 2-sided print on the secondary colors.
Wrinkling can also be caused if the pre-
heater is too open on the duplex side of
the print.
On the paper's packaging, an underline
under the 11 (in 8.5in. x 11in.) indicates
the paper is long-grain.
