• Check to see if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or
curled.
• When performing Borderless Printing, print quality may be reduced
at the top and bottom edges of the paper.
If all four corners or the printing surface of the paper is curled,
the paper may become dirty or the paper may not feed properly.
Use the paper after correcting paper curl as follows.
(1) Face up the printing surface*1, and cover it with a non-
printing regular paper to avoid damaging the surface.
(2) Roll up the paper in a direction opposite to paper curl as the
figure below.

Set the Paper Thickness Lever according to the paper to print.
Refer to "Printing Media" of the User's Guide on-screen manual.
Depending on the printing content, the printing surface may
become scratched even for the types of paper to set the lever to
the right. In this case, set the Paper Thickness Lever to the left.
* Return the Paper Thickness Lever to the right position after
printing. If you do not return the lever, the distance between the
Print Head and printing paper stays broadened and the inside of
the printer will easily get dirty. The image quality also may be
decreased.
