Solution

Background scatter results from bits of toner distributed on the printed page.

The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture.

If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems.

If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or via the printer properties window.

If characters are improperly formed and producing hollowed images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different paper. See “Paper Specifications” on page E.4.

If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. Verify that it also occurs on a demo page. Refer to the Setup Guide. For service, contact a service representative.

Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper Specifications” on page E.4.

Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded correctly and the guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack.

Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.

Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity can cause paper curl. See “Paper Specifications” on page E.4.

Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.
