Solving print quality problems
Many print quality problems can be solved by replacing a supply or maintenance item that is approaching the end of its
intended life. Check the operator panel for a message about a printer consumable. See Determining the status of
supplies for information about other ways to identify consumables that need to be replaced.

expected to print.
The job is too complex. Reduce the complexity of the print job by eliminating the number

in the Paper Menu is the same for all linked trays.

stop is not set to the
correct position for the

memory card and Installing an optional hard disk for adding
an optional hard disk.
