Wrinkles or creases
Check the paper type and quality. (See Acceptable paper and other
print media on page 11.)
Make sure that paper is loaded correctly. (See Loading paper in the
paper tray on page 6.)
Turn over the stack of paper in the tray or rotate the paper 180° in the
input tray.
Poor fixing
Choose Improve Toner Fixing mode in the printer driver. (See
Device Options (For Windows
®
) or Print Settings (For Macintosh
®
) in
the software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.)
If you print only a few pages, change the printer driver setting in
Media Type to a thin setting.
Curled or wavy
Check the paper type and quality. High temperatures and high
humidity will cause paper to curl.
If you do not use the machine often, the paper may have been in the
paper tray too long. Turn over the stack of paper in the paper tray.
Also, fan the paper stack and then rotate the paper 180° in the paper
tray.
