Recommendation
 Check the paper type and quality. High temperatures and high
humidity will cause paper to curl. (See Acceptable paper and
other print media uu page 17.)
 If you do not use the machine often, the paper may have been in
the paper tray too long. Turn over the stack of paper in the paper
tray. Also, fan the paper stack and then rotate the paper 180 in
the paper tray.
 Open the back cover (face-up output tray) for the machine to eject
printed pages onto the face-up output tray.
 (For FAX-2950, MFC-7240 and MFC-7290)
Choose Reduce Paper Curl mode in the printer driver when you
do not use our recommended paper. (See Software User's Guide:
Other Print Options (for Windows
Macintosh).)
 Make sure that the paper is loaded correctly. (See Loading paper
uu page 10.)
 Check the paper type and quality. (See Acceptable paper and
other print media uu page 17.)
 Turn over the stack of paper in the tray or try rotating the paper
180 in the input tray.
