Adjusting the Density and Ink Drying Time

If ink from already output sheets smudges paper, setting the print density or wait time until ink dries after printing can correct the problem.
Also, if paper jams during 2-sided printing with weak paper such as short grain paper, setting the print density or wait time until ink dries after printing can correct the problem.
