If straight lines are printed uneven or broken after changing the setting of the paper thickness lever on the front of the printer, re-align the print heads. Aligning the Print Heads I Printed pages curled As printed pages are ejected from the printer, they are curled or wavy. Check 1 ARE YOU PRINTING ON THIN PAPER? The large amount of ink used to print color photographs and illustrations can cause printed pages to curl or warp. For such cases, be sure to use special media such as High Resolution Paper or Glossy Photo Paper. Note Check 2 When you use High Resolution Paper, Glossy Photo Paper, or other special media, always load the pages with the print side (whiter side) facing up. Only one side of these media is treated with a special coating for better ink absorption. IS THE PRINTER DRIVER SET FOR HIGH DENSITY PRINTING? Move the Intensity setting (print density) in the Color tab to a lower setting and execute the print job again. A lower Intensity setting uses less ink and thus causes less curling of the printed page. Troubleshooting 317
