Curl or wave, Wrinkles or creases | Hitachi 3300MFP instruction

Curl or wave

●Check the media type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity cause media to curl. See Product media specifications for more information.

●The media might have been in the input tray too long. Turn over the stack of media in the tray. Also, try rotating the media 180° in the input tray.

●Open the straight-through output door and try printing straight through.

●The fuser temperature might be too high. See Optimizing print quality for media types for instructions. This feature is also available in HP LaserJet Device Configuration. See the product software Help for details.

You can also adjust the fuser temperature from the product control panel. The Less Paper Curl setting in the Service menu sets the fuser temperature to the lowest setting. Its default setting is off. Use the instructions below to turn this setting on.

1On the control panel, press menu/enter.

2Using the < and > buttons, select Service and press menu/enter.
