Printout is rubbed or stained.
1. Is the paper thickness lever set correctly?
When you print documents that contain large quantities of ink such as documents with a lot of
detail, the paper may curl and rub. Move the paper thickness lever to the right (
p. 3-6).
2. Does the paper stack exceed the paper limit mark (
|
t
) or exceed the capacity of the multi-
purpose tray?
If so, reduce the amount of paper.
3. Are you printing outside the printable area?
Change the margin settings in the application to keep the document within the recommended
printable area.
4. Is intensity set too high?
The paper may curl or rub if intensity is set too high in the printer driver. In the Properties dialog
box, on the Main tab, click [Manual] in Color Adjustment, then click [Set]. In the Manual Color
Adjustment dialog box, reduce the intensity with the Intensity slider.
5. Are you using recommended print media?
For recommended print media, see p. 3-1.
6. Are you printing on the wrong side of the paper?
Some papers have a “right” side for printing. Turn the paper over and try printing again. There are
also types of paper such as Photo Paper Pro that can only be printed on one side.
7. Borderless printing
Check the print media.
For borderless printing, the quality of the printout at the top and bottom edges of the paper may
deteriorate or the printout may be stained. If the printout is dirty even on recommended print
media, move the paper thickness lever to the right (
p. 3-6).
