Examples of poor print quality

Recommendation

 

 

 

Check the paper type and quality. High temperatures and high

 

 

 

humidity will cause paper to curl. See Acceptable paper and other

 

 

 

print media on page 15.

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you do not use the machine often, the paper may have been in

 

 

 

the paper tray too long. Turn over the stack of paper in the paper

 

 

 

tray. Also, fan the paper stack and then rotate the paper 180° in

 

 

 

the paper tray.

 

 

 

Open the back cover (face-up output tray) for the machine to eject

 

 

 

printed pages onto the face-upoutput tray.
