Re: Help Please; smudging of prints with a 1280

2002-06-09 by tomoc

Justin-

Are you using thick paper? Have you adjusted the paper alignment to 
allow for thicker paper? Is the paper flat? Does it have the support 
tray all the way out?

Cleaning it is usually pretty easy...just run a used sheet through a 
couple of times to soak it up (the towel trick is more for head 
cleaning).

Sometimes the desktop printers will just drive you nuts with thick 
paper.

Hint...you might need to run the alignment utility if you adjust the 
paper thickness lever.

Hope this does it.
