●Small, random dark areas on the trailing edge of solid fill pages may be caused by transparencies sticking together in the output bin. Try printing the job in smaller batches.

●The selected colors are undesirable when printed. Select different colors in the software application or printer driver.

●If you are using a reflective overhead projector, use a standard overhead projector instead.
