What to do

Your paper may be moist or

damp environment.

You may not be using the
correct type of paper for your

high-quality copier paper is
recommended for best results. See
“Available paper types” on page 272 for
information on choosing paper.

The paper path inside the
printer may be dusty.

Turn off the printer. Clean internal
printer components by printing three
pages with only one character per page.
