Solving Print Quality Problems

Problem

Solution

Light or faded print

If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page:

 

• The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily

 

extend the toner cartridge life. See “Redistributing the

 

Toner” on page 6.2. If this does not improve the print

 

quality, install a new toner cartridge.

 

• The paper may not meet paper specifications (for example,

 

the paper is too moist or too rough). See “Paper

 

Specifications” on page A.2.

 

• If the whole page is light, the print resolution setting is too

 

light or Toner Save Mode may be on. Adjust the print

 

resolution and Toner Save Mode within the printer

 

properties. See page 5.7 and 5.8 respectively.

 

• A combination of faded and smeared defects may indicate

 

that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. See “Cleaning the

 

Printer” on page 6.4.

 

• The surface of LSU part inside the printer may be dirty.

 

Clean the LSU. See “Cleaning the Printer”.
