When printing on paper that has absorbed moistureSteam may be emitted from the paper output area, or water droplets may form around the paper output area. This is not a malfunction. It occurs when the heat used to fix toner on the paper causes moisture in the paper to evaporate (most likely to occur at low room temperatures).
