Why do pages curl excessively when printed from my Olivetti Printer?
If your Olivetti Printer is printing pages that curl excessively, there are a few potential causes. First, ensure you are printing on the correct side of the paper. Look for an arrow on the paper package and install the paper print side down in the tray. Also, moisture in the paper due to improper storage can cause curling. Avoid storing paper in areas of excessive temperature and humidity and keep it in its protective wrapping. High humidity can also contribute to this issue; the recommended operating humidity is between 20-80%.
