Paper Is Smeared or Scuffed

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.

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

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

If the back of the paper was printed before the side that had already been printed was dry, ink may stick to the roller inside the printer and transfer to the paper the next time you print. When performing manual 2-sided printing, make sure that the ink is completely dry before reloading the paper.
