Solution

The printed page is curled or wavy.

The device is not set to print on the type
of media on which you want to print.

In the printer driver, make sure the
appropriate media type is selected.

If the problem persists, select a media
type that uses a lower fuser temperature,
such as transparencies or light media.

The media might have been in the input
tray too long.

Turn over the stack of media in the tray.
Also, try rotating the media 180° in the
input tray.

The paper path is curling the media.
