Condition	Suggested Solutions
Background scatter	Background scatter results from bits of toner randomly distributed on the printed page.
A	• 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.
	Or select Thick Envelope from the Printing Preferences window (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 39).
	• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application
	or in Printing Preferences. Ensure the correct paper type is selected.

• If you are using a new toner cartridge, redistribute the toner first.
