The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open
packages of paper until needed so that the paper does not absorb moisture from the
air.

The printing surface may be uneven. For example, if printing on envelopes, try
changing the layout of the image to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping
seams on the reverse side.
Missing characters or data
