B
Curled or wavy
 Check the paper type and quality. High temperatures and high
humidity will cause paper to curl.
See Acceptable paper and other print media uu page 19.
See Product Safety Guide: Choosing a location.
 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.
 Open the back cover (face-up output tray) to let the printed paper exit
onto the face-up output tray.
 Choose Reduce Paper Curl mode in the printer driver when you do
not use our recommended paper.
