• The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until

 

 

 

 

 

necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much

 

 

 

 

 

moisture from the air.

printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams

 

 

 

 

 

 

can cause this problem.

Misformed characters

If characters are improperly formed, producing hollow

 

 

 

 

 

 

images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different

 

 

 

 

 

 

paper. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If characters are improperly formed, producing a wavy
