Curl or wave

Check the media type and quality. Both high temperature and high humidity cause media to curl.

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.

The fuser temperature might be too high. In the printer driver, make sure that the appropriate media type is selected. If the problem persists, select a media type that uses a lower fuser temperature, such as transparencies or light media.

Wrinkles or creases

Make sure that media is loaded properly. Check the media type and quality.

Turn over the stack of media in the tray. Also, try rotating the media 180° in the input tray.

For envelopes, this can be caused by air pockets inside the envelope. Remove the envelope, flatten the envelope, and then try printing again.

Toner scatter outline

If large amounts of toner have scattered around the characters, the transfer of toner to the media is not optimal. (A small amount of toner scatter is normal for laser printing.) Try a different media type setting in the printer driver, or use a different media type.

Turn over the stack of media in the tray.

Use media that is designed for laser printers.
