Paper Curls
Perform one of the following solutions according to the cause.
<Cause 1> Damp paper is used.
Solution 1
Replace the paper with new paper in an unopened package.
Solution 2
Solution 2-1
If [Paper Type] is set to [Plain] in the printer driver, specify [Plain L], and then print again.
The toner may not fix onto paper well, and the printing may come out faint.
Solution 2-2
If the problem is not solved, perform the following procedure in the printer driver.
1.
Display the [Finishing] tab.
2.
Click [Advanced Settings].
3.
Set [Special Print Adjustment C] to [On].
You can specify the same setting from the printer's control panel.
If you specify this setting, printing speed drops.
The setting applies only to A4 or Letter size paper.
Solution 2-3
If the problem is not solved, select the tray or the drawer from which the printer feeds paper from [Curl Correction] in [Special Print Mode] on the printer's control panel, specify [On], and then print again.
If you specify this setting, the printing speed drops more than when [Special Print Adj. C] is set to [On].
Solution 2-4
If the problem is not solved, specify [Off] in Solution 2-3, and then perform the following procedure in the printer driver.
1.
Display the [Finishing] tab.
2.
Click [Advanced Settings].
3.
Set [Curl Adjustment] to [On].
If you specify this setting, the printing speed drops more than when [Curl Correction] is set to [On] on the printer's control panel.
The setting applies only to A4 or Letter size paper.
<Cause 2> Appropriate paper is not being used.
