Paper Is Smeared or Scuffed

The following causes can be considered.

Paper is loaded incorrectly.

Solutions

When horizontal banding (perpendicular to the printing direction) appears, or the top or bottom of the paper is smeared, load paper in the correct direction and slide the edge guides to the edges of the paper.

The paper path is smeared.

Solutions

When vertical banding (horizontal to the printing direction) appears, or the paper is smeared, clean the paper path.

The paper is curled.

Solutions

Place the paper on a flat surface to check if it is curled. If it is, flatten it.
