Printing quality problems

If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the problem.

Condition		Suggested solutions
Light or faded print	If a vertical white streak or faded area appears
	on the page:
	•	The toner supply is low. You may be able to
		temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. If
		this does not improve the print quality, install
		a new toner cartridge.
	•	The paper may not meet paper
		specifications; for example, the paper may
		be too moist or rough. (See "Specifications
		on print media" on page 4.2.)
	• If the entire page is light, 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 and refer to Software
		section, respectively.
	•	A combination of faded or smeared defects
		may indicate that the toner cartridge needs
		cleaning. Contact a service representative.
	•	The surface of the LSU part inside the
		machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU,
		contact a service representative.
Toner specks	•	The paper may not meet specifications; for
		example, the paper may be too moist or
		rough. (See "Specifications on print
		media" on page 4.2.)
	•	The paper transfer belt may be dirty. Clean
		the inside of your machine. Contact a
		service representative.
	•	The paper path may need cleaning. Contact
		a service representative.
Dropouts	If faded areas, generally rounded, occur
	randomly on the page:
	•	A single sheet of paper may be defective.
		Try 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
		"Specifications on print media" on page 4.2.)
	•	The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing
		processes can cause some areas to reject
		toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.
	•	If these steps do not correct the problem,
		contact a service representative.
