Printing quality problems
If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly,
there might be a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the
problem.
The print quality
of photos is not
good. Images are
not clear.
The resolution of
the photo is very
low.
Reduce the photo size. If
you increase the photo size
in the software application,
the resolution will be
reduced.
Before printing,
the machine
emits vapor near
the output tray.
Using damp paper
can cause vapor
during printing.
This is not a problem. Just
keep printing.
The machine
does not print
special- sized
paper, such as
billing paper.
Paper size and
paper size setting
do not match.
Set the correct paper size in
the Paper tab in the Print-
ing Preferences (See
"Opening printing prefer-
ences" on page 52).
CONDITION SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS
Light or faded print If a vertical white streak or faded area
appears on the page, the toner supply is low
or the imaging unit is worn. You may be able
to temporarily extend the toner cartridge life
(See"Redistributing toner" on page 76). If this
does not improve the print quality, install a
new
toner cartridge or imaging unit.
T
he paper may not meet paper specifications;
for example
, the paper may be too moist or
rough (See "Print media specifications" on
page 110).
If the entire pa
ge is lig
ht, the print resolution
setting is too low or the toner save mode is
on. Adjust the print resolution and turn the
toner save mode off. See the help screen of
the printer driver.
A combina
tion of faded or smeared defects
may indicate that the imaging unit needs
cleaning (See "Cleaning the inside" on
page 73).
T
he surface of the LSU part inside the
machine may
be dirty (See "Cleaning the
inside" on page 73).

If faded areas, generally rounded, occur ran-
domly on the page:
A singl
e sheet of paper may be defective.
T
ry reprinting the job.
The moisture content of the paper is uneven
or the paper has moist spots on its surface.
Try a different brand of paper (See "Print
media specifications" on page 110).
T
he paper lot is bad. The manufacturing pro-
cesses can caus
e some ar
eas to reject
toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.
Ch
ange the printer option and try again. Go
to Printing
Preferences, click Paper tab,
and set type to Thick (See "Opening printing
preferences" on page 52).
If these steps do no
t correct the
problem,
contact a service representative.
White Spots
If white spots appear on the page:
The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from a
pa
per falls to the inner devices within the
machine, so the transfer roller may be dirty.
Clean the inside of your machine (See
"Cleaning the inside" on page 73).
T
he paper path may need cleaning (See
"Cleaning the inside" on page 73).
Vertical lines
If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
The surface (drum part) of the imaging unit
in
side the machine has probably been
scratched. Remove the imaging unit and
install a new one (See "Replacing the imag-
ing unit" on page 99).
If white vertical streaks appear on the page:
T
he surface of the LSU part inside the
machine may be dirty (See "Cleaning the
inside" on page 73).
Color or Black
background
If the amount of background shading becomes
unacceptable:
Ch
ange to a lighter weight paper (See "Print
medi
a specifications" on page 110).
Check the environmental conditions: very
dry conditions or a high level of humidity
(higher than 80% RH) can increase the
amount of background shading.
Re
move the old imaging unit and, install a
ne
w one (See "Replacing the imaging unit"
on page 99). If this problem persists, contact
a service representative.
