Print quality is not satisfactory (part 1)

Check the paper being used

■Non-standard paper used?

Check that the paper conforms to the specification. Refer to

"LOADING PAPER" in the operation manual for copier.

■

Are you using paper with a high moisture content?

Use paper that is in good condition, with a low moisture

content and no curling.

■Is the paper loaded with the wrong side up?

Some types of paper have a front and a back side. If the

paper is loaded so that printing takes place on the back side,

toner will not adhere well to the paper and poor print quality

will result.

■Are you printing on paper that has an uneven

surface?

It may not be possible to print correctly on paper with seams

such as the back of an envelope.
