Printed Paper Curls or Has Ink Blots Cause Action Paper is too thin. When printing data with high color saturation such as photographs or images in deep color, we recommend using Photo Paper Pro or other Canon specialty paper. See "Media Types You Cannot Use" on page 11. Printed Surface Is Scratched/Paper Is Smudged Cause Paper feed roller is dirty. Inside of the machine is dirty. Action Clean the paper feed roller. Cleaning the paper feed roller will wear the roller, so perform this procedure only when necessary. For details on cleaning, see "Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller (Roller Cleaning)" on page 72. When performing duplex printing, if the specified page size does not match the actual size of paper loaded in the paper source, the inside will become stained with ink, causing printed paper to become smudged. Perform the Bottom Plate Cleaning to clean the inside of the machine. For details on cleaning, see "Cleaning the Inside of the Machine (Bottom Plate Cleaning)" on page 73. Printing on inappropriate type of paper. Note To prevent the inside of the machine from getting stained, set the page size correctly. z Check to see if the paper you are printing on is not too thick or curled. See "Media Types You Cannot Use" on page 11. z When performing Borderless Printing, print quality may be reduced at the top and bottom edges of the paper.
