Troubleshooting Print Quality Issues
Paper Rippled
Problem
Suggested Action
The paper is not flat after printing.
If the paper does not lie flat when it comes out of the printer, but
has shallow waves in it, you are likely to see defects in the printed
image, such as vertical stripes. This can happen when you use
thin paper that becomes saturated with ink.
1. Check that the paper type loaded corresponds to the paper
type selected in the front panel and in your software. See
“View Paper Information” on page 3-13
.
2. Try changing to a thicker paper type such as a heavy, coated
paper.
3. Select a lower print quality (e.g., Speed); the printer will then
use less ink.
4. Select a paper type that is slightly thinner than the paper you
have loaded; this will persuade the printer to use less ink.
Example paper types in ascending order of thickness: Plain
Paper, Coated Paper, Heavyweight Coated Paper.
