Troubleshooting Examples of poor print quality Curled or wavy Recommendation Check the paper type and quality. High temperatures and high humidity will cause paper to curl. (See About paper on page 6.) If you do not use the printer 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. Follow these steps: a Open the back cover. b Push the gray lever to the right as shown below. 7 c Close the back cover and re-send the print job. Note When you have finished printing, open the back cover and reset the lever back to the original position. 165
