You are printing on heavyweight paper
or paper that curls or wrinkles easily af-
ter absorbing ink.
For paper-based media such as Heavyweight Coated Paper, set the VacuumStrngth to
Strong or Strongest in the Control Panel menu. If the paper still rubs against the printhead,
set the Head Height in the Control Panel menu to a higher value than the current setting.
(See "Adjusting the Vacuum Strength.") ➔ P.565
(See "Troubleshooting Paper Abrasion and Blurry Images.") ➔ P.556
For film-based media such as Tracing Paper, set the VacuumStrngth to Standard, Strong or

higher Head Height setting.

(See "Loading Sheets in the Feed Slot.") ➔P.388
Since the leading edge of the paper
curls strongly or ripples, the leading
edge of the paper rubs against the
printhead.
Set Cutting Mode to Manual on the Control Panel menu, and select Do not perform for the
paper leading edge detection setting.
