Check the folded part of the ejected paper. If it is smudged with ink, perform Bottom Plate
Cleaning again.
If the problem is not resolved after performing Bottom Plate Cleaning twice, the protrusions
inside the machine may be stained. Clean them according to instructions. See “Cleaning the
Protrusions Inside the Machine” on page 42.
Cleaning the Protrusions Inside the Machine
If protrusions inside the machine are stained, wipe off any ink from the protrusions using a cotton
swab or the like.
Note
When performing Bottom Plate Cleaning again, make sure to use a new piece of paper.
