Print quality difficulties
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 14.)
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 onpage 14 and Basic tab in the Software User’s
Guide on the CD-ROM.)
Printouts are too light. If this problem occurs when making copies or printing received faxes, set
Toner Save mode to off in the machine menu settings. (See Toner Save
onpage 23.)
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.)
Network difficulties (MFC-7440N and MFC-7840W only)
Difficulties Suggestions
Cannot print over a wired Network. If you are having Network problems see the Network User's Guide on the CD-
ROM for more information.
Make sure your machine is powered on and is on-line and in Ready mode. Print
the Network Configuration list to see your current Network settings. (See How to
print a report onpage 66. ) Reconnect the LAN cable to the hub to verify that the
cable and network connections are good. If possible, try connecting the machine
to a different port on your hub using a different cable. If the connections are good,
the lower LED of the back panel of the machine will be green.
