    Check1 Did you confirm the paper and print quality settings?
    Print Results Not Satisfactory
    Check2  If the intensity is set high, reduce the intensity setting and try printing again.
    If you are using plain paper to print images with high intensity, the paper may absorb too much ink and become wavy, causing paper abrasion.
    You can confirm the intensity using the printer driver.

    Media Types You Can Use
    Check3  Load the paper after correcting its curl.
    We recommend putting unused paper back into the package and keeping it on a level surface.
    •
    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.
    •
    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.
    1.
    Roll up the paper in the opposite direction to the paper curl as shown below.
    622 
    						
    							2.
    Check that the paper is now flat.
    We recommend printing curl-corrected paper one sheet at a time.
    Note
    •
    Depending on the media type, the paper may be smudged or may not be fed properly even if it is not curled inward. In such cases, follow the procedure described below to curl the paper outward within 0.1
    inch / 3 mm (B) in height before printing. This may improve the print result.
    (C) Printing side
    We recommend printing paper that has been curled outward one sheet at a time.
    Check4  If the intensity is set high, reduce the intensity setting and try printing again.
    If you are using plain paper to print images with high intensity, the paper may absorb too much ink and become wavy, causing paper abrasion.
    Reduce the intensity setting in the printer driver and try printing again.
