There may be too much paper in the output tray. Never let more than 250 sheets accumulate in the face-down output tray on top of the printer. If you install the optional face-up output tray, never let more than 150 sheets accumulate in the face-up tray.

Your paper may be moist or damp. Printing is sensitive to moisture absorbed by the paper. Do not store your paper in a humid or damp environment.

You may not be using the correct type of paper for your printer. Smooth, high- quality copier paper is recommended for best results. See Chapter 4 for more on choosing paper.

Most paper has a natural curl that may be emphasized when the paper is run through a laser printer. Turn the stack of paper over in your paper cassette and try printing again.

Use the optional face-up output tray. The face-up tray provides a straight-through paper path to prevent excessive curling.

You may be trying to use a paper size that is not listed on the P-SIZE menu in SelecType. You may be able to feed this paper manually as described in Chapter 4. Use only paper sizes that are within the specified range listed in Chapter 8.
