Solving Print Quality Problems

Problem	Solution
Light or feded print	If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page:

	• The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily
AaBbCc	extend the toner cartridge life. See “Redistributing Toner” on
AaBbCc	page 6.2. If this does not improve the print quality, install a
AaBbCc	new toner cartridge.
AaBbCc	• The paper may not meet paper specifications (for example,
AaBbCc	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 5.18.

•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 page 6.5).
