Prints are Scuffed or Smeared
If your prints are scuffed or smeared, try these solutions:
• Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.
• Do not use paper with folds or creases and always use new media.
• If you are using cut sheet paper, check that changes in humidity and temperature have not made the
paper wavy or curled up on the edges. Flatten the paper before loading it or use new paper.
• If the surface of the paper is scuffed, select a wider Platen Gap setting.
