Poor fixing

Curled or wavy

Recommendation



Make sure the two gray levers inside the back cover are in

the up position (1). Pull up the two gray levers until they stop.



Make sure the media type setting in the driver matches the

type of paper you are using (see Acceptable paper and other

print media on page 26).



Choose Improve Toner Fixing mode in the printer driver

(see Software User's Guide).

If this selection does not provide enough improvement,

change the printer driver setting in Media Type to a thick

setting. If you are printing an envelope, choose Env. Thick

in the media type setting.



Choose Reduce Paper Curl mode in the printer driver

(see Software User's Guide).

If the problem is not solved, choose Plain Paper in the

media type setting.



If you are printing an envelope, choose Env. Thin in the

Media Type Setting of the printer driver.



If you do not use the machine often, the paper may have

been in the paper tray too long. Turn over the stack of paper

in the paper tray. Also, fan the paper stack and then rotate

the paper 180 in the paper tray.



Store the paper where it will not be exposed to high

temperatures and high humidity.



Open the back cover (face-up output tray) to let the printed

paper exit onto the face-up output tray.
