Point to check | Solution
--- | ---
Are you using paper that is not within the specifications? | Use SHARP-recommended paper. Using paper that is for other models or special paper that is not supported may result in misfeeds, creases, or smudges. - "SUPPLIES" in "Quick Start Guide"
Are you printing on pre-punched paper? | Take care that the image does not overlap the punch holes. If the printed image overlaps the punch holes, smudges may appear on the reverse side of the paper following 1-sided printing, or on both sides following 2-sided printing.
