Print outs are wrinkled
o
Dry the paper after printing
Drying the paper after printing may help to reduce
wrinkles in the paper.
Rolling out the paper and stretching it can also
improve any wrinkles in the paper.
o
Lower the ink density used when printing
The paper may wrinkle when printing using high
density ink. Lower the density of the ink in "Paper
Configuration" from the driver.
o
Lower the resolution used when printing
The paper may wrinkle when printing at a high
resolution. Lower the resolution in "Print Quality"
from the driver.
The reverse side of the printed paper
is soiled.
o
Select ON for Paper Size Check in the Settings
menu.
Although printing normally stops if the print image is
wider than the paper, when
Off
is selected for
Paper
Size Check
in the Printer Settings menu, the printer
may print outside the bounds of the paper, getting ink
on the inside of the printer in the process. This can be
prevented by changing the setting to
ON
.

Is ink dry on the printed surface?
Depending on the printing density and media type,
the ink may take a while to dry. Do not stack the paper
until the printed surface is dry.
Also, if you set the
Drying Time per Head Pass
in
Paper Configuration
from the printer driver, you can
stop the operation after printing (ejecting and cutting
paper) and wait until the ink is dry. See the printer
driver help for more details on the Paper
Configuration dialog box.
