Table 3-3 Post-image curl: causes and corrective actions
Cause Actions
Paper is too moist, resulting in waviness or curl. ● Print to the another output bin, for example, the face-up
output bin. (This option is not available with some printers.)
● Change to a dierent type or brand of paper.
● If possible, set the paper type to a lighter-weight paper. For
more information, see the support documentation that came
with your printer.
● You might need to acclimate the paper to your environment
to diminish dierences in heat and moisture. (See Preparing
print media for use on page 4.)
● Follow the storage and handling specications in this
document. (See Shipping and storing print media on page 22.)
Paper orientation (direction in which the paper is fed into the
printer) is incorrect, resulting in excessive curl.
● Turn the paper stack over or turn it around in the input tray to
reverse the direction of the paper.
● The grain of the paper can aect the curl of the paper.
Therefore, if you are feeding the paper in landscape mode
and you are experiencing curl, try feeding the paper in portrait
mode, if possible.
