Paper Is Smudged/Printed Surface Is Scratched Page 373 of 437 pages

2.Check that the paper is now flat.

We recommend printing curl-corrected paper one sheet at a time.

Note

Depending on the media type, the paper may be smudged or may not be fed properly even if it is not curled inward. In such cases, follow the procedure described below to curl the paper outward within 0.1 inch / 3 mm (B) in height before printing. This may improve the print result.

(C) Printing side

We recommend printing paper that has been curled outward one sheet at a time.

Check 4: If you are printing on thick paper, select the Prevent paper

abrasion setting.

Selecting the Prevent paper abrasion setting will widen the clearance between the Print Head and the loaded paper. If you notice abrasion even with the media type set correctly to match the loaded paper, set the printer to prevent paper abrasion by using the printer driver.

Print speed is reduced if you are selecting the Prevent paper abrasion setting.

*Deactivate the Prevent paper abrasion setting once printing is complete. If not, this setting remains enabled for all subsequent print jobs.

Open the printer properties dialog box, and in Custom Settings in the Maintenance sheet, select the Prevent paper abrasion check box, and then click Send.

Check 5: If the intensity is set high, reduce the Intensity setting in the

printer driver and try printing again.

If you are using plain paper to print images with high intensity, the paper may absorb too much ink

and become wavy, causing paper abrasion.

Reduce the Intensity setting in the printer driver and try printing again.
