Dirt on the Front Side of Paper (Black Line/Stain)

Illustration of dirt on the front side of paper (black line/stain)

If there is no margin, or if there is a solid image area near the leading edge of the original, make a margin of at least 5 mm (0.2 inches) at the leading edge. Otherwise, the paper exit pawl may become dirty and cause black lines to appear on the prints.

Note
