Difficulties

Suggestions

Printed pages are curled.

„ Low quality thin or thick paper or not printing on the recommended side of the

 

paper could cause this problem. Try turning over the stack of paper in the

 

paper tray.

 

„ Make sure that you choose the Paper Type that suits the print media type you

 

are using. (See Acceptable paper and other print media on page 13.)

 

 

Printed pages are smeared.

The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are using,

 

or the print media may be too thick or have a rough surface. (See Acceptable

 

paper and other print media on page 13 and Basic tab in the Software User’s

 

Guide on the CD-ROM.)

 

 

Printouts are too light.

„ If this problem occurs when making copies, set Toner Save mode to Off in the

 

machine menu settings. (See Toner Save on page 22.)

 

„ Set Toner Save mode to Off in the Advanced tab in the printer driver. (See

 

Advanced tab in the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.)
