Product: LaserJet Pro M404n
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I've just set up my new LJ M404n and it prints fine on regular paper. I bought the machine to print decals, essentially printing on cardstock. When I print on the heavier paper, I'm getting smears or ghosts of the lower part of the image. I've tried Fine Lines and Normal modes and both have the issue. Help?

You need to change your paper type to card stock or labels, Option should be under the tray settings on the machine
