Suggested solutions

 

 

Background

Background scatter results from bits of toner

scatter

distributed on the printed page.

• The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture.

• If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems.

•If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or via the printer properties window.

Misformed

• If characters are improperly formed and

characters

producing hollowed images, the paper stock

 

 

 

may be too slick. Try a different paper. See

 

 

 

page 4.3.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Page skew

•

Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

 

 

 

•

Check the paper type and quality. See page

 

 

 

 

4.2.

Ensure that the paper is loaded correctly and

 

 

 

 

the adjustable guides are not too tight or too

 

 

 

 

loose against the paper stack.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Curl or wave

Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

•Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity can cause paper

curl. See page 4.2.
