Check 2: Is the appropriate type of paper used? Check the followings:

Check to see if the paper you are printing on is suitable for your printing purpose.

Loading Paper / Originals

When performing Borderless Printing, make sure that the paper you are using is suitable for
Borderless Printing.
If the paper you are using is not suitable for Borderless Printing, the print quality may be
reduced at the top and bottom edges of the paper.

Printing Area

Check 3: Load the paper after correcting its curl.

For Plain Paper

Turn the paper over and reload it to print on the other side.

Leaving the paper loaded on the Rear Tray for a long time may cause the paper to curl. In this
case, load the paper with the other side facing up. It may resolve the problem.

We recommend putting unused paper back into the package and keeping it on a level surface.

For Other Paper

If the curl on the four corners of the paper is more than 0.1 inch / 3 mm (A) in height, the paper
may be smudged or may not be fed properly. In such cases, follow the procedure described
below to correct the paper curl.
