correct type of paper for your
printer.

Cause What to do
Your paper may be moist or
damp.
This printer is sensitive to moisture
absorbed by the paper. The higher the
moisture content in the paper, the
lighter the printout. Do not store paper
in a humid or damp environment.
You may not be using the
correct type of paper for your
printer.
If the surface of your paper is too rough,
printed characters may appear
distorted or broken. EPSON special
paper or smooth, high-quality copier
paper is recommended for best results.
