Table 3-3 Post-image curl: causes and corrective actions Cause Paper is too moist, resulting in waviness or curl. Paper orientation (direction in which the paper is fed into the printer) is incorrect, resulting in excessive curl. Actions ● Print to the another output bin, for example, the face-up output bin. (This option is not available with some printers.) ● Change to a different type or brand of paper. ● If possible, set the paper type to a lighter-weight paper. For more information, see the support documentation that came with your printer. ● You might need to acclimate the paper to your environment to diminish differences in heat and moisture. (See Preparing print media for use on page 4.) ● Follow the storage and handling specifications in this document. (See Shipping and storing print media on page 22.) ● Turn the paper stack over or turn it around in the input tray to reverse the direction of the paper. ● The grain of the paper can affect the curl of the paper. Therefore, if you are feeding the paper in landscape mode and you are experiencing curl, try feeding the paper in portrait mode, if possible. 30 Chapter 3 Troubleshooting print media problems ENWW
