Check that the paper is in an appropriate state (no curling).
Check that using suitable paper (not paper already used for printing).
* When, for example, A4 paper is used cut to A5 size, the long grain becomes the short
grain so there is a tendency for edges to bend easily.
Make sure the appropriate paper has been used.
Go to step 3
Use suitable paper.
Use the rubbing avoidance mode.
* If the symptom continues even after using the rubbing
avoidance mode, refer to the avoidance measures.
3
Check the feed path

Avoidance
measures
If the symptom continues even in the rubbing avoidance mode
1. Reduce the print density (default is -20 for duplex, but -5 or -10 from that).
2. Increase the drying time.
3. Make sure that a high density image does not come at the trailing edge of the first
side (rotate, change the print order, etc.).
