|
|
| Background | Background scatter results from bits of toner distributed on | |||
|
| scatter | 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 the printer properties. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Misformed | • If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow | ||
|
| characters | images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different | ||
|
|
|
|
| paper. See “Paper Specifications” on page 7.30. |
|
|
|
|
| • 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 by pressing the Cancel |
|
|
|
|
| button on the control panel when the printer is ready. For |
|
|
|
|
| service, contact a service representative. |

| Page skew | • Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper | ||
|

| Specifications” on page 7.30. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| • Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded correctly |
|
|
|
|
| and the guides are not too tight or too loose against the |
|
|
|
|
| paper stack. |

|
Curl or wave | • Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature | |
|
| and humidity can cause paper curl. See “Paper |
|
| |
|
| Specifications” on page 7.30. |
|
| • Turn over the stack of paper in the input tray. Also try |
|
| rotating the paper 180° in the input tray. |
|
| • Push the output lever and try printing to the face up |
|
| output slot. |
