Cause
The type of paper specified in the printer
driver does not match the type loaded in
the printer.
Paper has been loaded incorrectly, caus-
ing it to wrinkle.
The Printhead is set too low in the Con-
trol Panel menu.
You are printing on heavyweight paper or
paper that curls or wrinkles easily after
absorbing ink.
When you have loaded paper, the paper
you have loaded does not match the type
selected on the Control Panel.
Since the leading edge of the paper curls
strongly or ripples, the leading edge of
the paper rubs against the printhead.
