If you are using plain paper to print images with high intensity, the paper may absorb too much ink and become
wavy, causing paper abrasion.

Reduce the intensity setting in the printer driver and try printing again.

1. Open the printer driver setup window.

Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller

Note

• Cleaning the paper feed roller will wear the roller, so perform this procedure only when necessary.

Check9

Is the inside of the machine dirty?

When performing duplex printing, the inside of the machine may become stained with ink, causing the printout to
become smudged.
