Verify that the photo paper is not curled. If the photo paper is curled, place the paper in a plastic bag and gently bend it in the opposite direction of the curl until the paper lies flat. If the problem persists, then use photo paper that is not curled.

For instructions about preventing photo paper from curling, see Store and handle photo paper.
