Adjusting the Level of Curl Correction
You can adjust the curl correction level for custom paper type.
IMPORTANT |
This mode may affect paper feeding. Since increasing the value to a great extent may cause paper jams, adjusting the values in small increments is recommended. Depending on the characteristic of the paper type, such as heavy paper, you may not be able to correct the paper curl properly even if you adjust the curl correction level. |

Adjust the curl correction level in the direction opposite to that of the printed paper.
