Remove some of the sheets. The HP LaserJet M1005 MFP main input tray can hold up to 150 sheets of 75-g/m2 (20-lb) bond-weight paper (less for heavier paper). The type and quality of media does not meet HP specifications. Make sure that the media meets specifications detailed in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide. The printed page has curls or waves. Cause Solution Paper curl is inherent to the laser printing process; it occurs when paper is subjected to heat. The environment is too warm or too humid. Curled paper tends to relax as it cools. Place the paper on a flat surface while it is cooling. 1. Both high temperatures and high humidity levels cause media to curl. Move the device to a different environment. The media was in the input tray for too long. 2. Use a different media. Make sure that the media meets specifications detailed in the HP LaserJet Printer Family Print Media Guide. Turn the stack of media over and put it back in the tray. Rotate the media 180° and put it back in the tray. The fuser temperature is too high. The fuser temperature varies according to the type of media being used. Select a lighter-weight media type from the printer driver. 122 Chapter 7 Troubleshooting ENWW
