Canon Pixma MG3520 printing wavy

My one month old MG3520 decided to pull in about 15+ pages at once. After removing them, the printer now prints in a wavy fashion. The lines all wave horizontally in a downward direction. Is there a fix or did it get damaged with the multiple paper feed?

Thanks to Canon's customer service, I was able to fix this. There is a thin strip of clear plastic (about a 1/4" wide and the length of the printer) that is in front of a metal bar (behind where the ink cartridges ride). If that gets smudged with grease or fingerprints, it causes the wavy printing.

Cleaning the plastic strip with Windex and a Q-tip fixed it and it is now printing like it should. Thanks Canon!
