Set the Paper Thickness lever correctly MP150 / MP170 / MP450.
Solution
Setting the Paper Thickness Lever
To adjust the gap between the ink cartridges and paper in order to improve a paper abrasion problem, set the paper thickness lever properly according to the media being used.
- Open the paper output tray.
- Set the paper thickness lever right or left according to the paper being used.
a. When printing on paper (such as plain paper) other than an envelope/T-Shirt Transfers, set the paper thickness lever to the left position.

Note: When paper other than an envelope or T-Shirt Transfers is scratched or scuffed, setting the paper thickness lever to the right may correct this problem. However, continuous printing in this setting will likely smear the inside of the printer. Therefore, return the paper thickness lever to the left position after printing.
