Improve print quality for copies

If you encounter print quality problems in copied documents, review the solutions for printed documents listed previously in this document. However, some print-quality problems occur only in copied documents.

●If streaks appear on copies made by using the document feeder, clean the small glass strip on the left side of the scanner assembly.

●If dots or other defects appear on copies made by using the scanner glass, clean the scanner glass and the white plastic backing.

1.Use the power switch to turn off the product, and then unplug the power cord from the electrical socket.

2.Open the scanner lid.

3.Clean the scanner glass and the white plastic backing with a soft cloth or sponge that has been moistened with nonabrasive glass cleaner.
