Using Media That Wrinkles Easily/Does Not Move Smoothly: Vacuum Power

Set the intensity of the vacuum that holds the media flat on the platen. Increase the Vacuum Power when rigid media gets warped or lifts up after wrinkling and decrease it when using media soft and smooth media. In this way, you may be able to improve the feeding of the media. Additionally, there are also models on which it is possible to configure advanced settings for the suction fan from the printer side.

Depending on the model you are using, this setting may be disabled.
