Media-handling problems

Problem

Cause

Solution

Poor print quality or toner

adhesion

The paper is too moist, too rough, too heavy

or too smooth, or it is embossed or from a

faulty paper lot.

Try another kind of paper, between 100 and

250 Sheffield, 4 to 6% moisture content.

Dropouts, jamming, or curl

The paper has been stored incorrectly.

Store paper flat in its moisture-proof

wrapping.

The paper has variability from one side to the

other.

Turn the paper over.

Excessive curl

The paper is too moist, has the wrong grain

direction, or is of short-grain construction

Open the rear output bin, or use long-grain

paper.

The paper varies from side-to-side.

Turn the paper over.

Jamming, damage to paper

The paper has cutouts or perforations.

Use paper that is free of cutouts or

perforations.

Problems with feeding

The paper has ragged edges.

Use high-quality paper that is made for laser

printers.

The paper varies from side-to-side.

Turn the paper over.

The paper is too moist, too rough, too heavy

or too smooth, has the wrong grain direction,

or is of short-grain construction or it is

embossed or from a faulty paper lot.

Try another kind of paper, between 100 and

250 Sheffield, 4 to 6% moisture content.

Open the rear output bin, or use long-grain

paper.

Print is skewed (crooked).

The media guides might be incorrectly

adjusted.

Remove all media from the input tray,

straighten the stack, and then load the

media in the input tray again. Adjust the

media guides to the width and length of the

media that you are using and try printing

again.
