Problem Solution
The whole printout is blurred.
• Paper is damp. Use paper that has been stored properly.
See p.82 "Paper and Other Media".
• Select [Lvl.1: Weak], [Lvl.2: Medium] or [Lvl.3: Strong] in
[Anti-Humidity Level] under [System Settings]. Note that if
you select [Lvl.2: Medium] or [Lvl.3: Strong], the first print
takes longer than subsequent prints to complete.
• If you enable [Toner Saving] under [System Settings],
printing is generally less dense.
• If you select [On] for [Economy Color] in the [Print
Quality] tab (PCL printer driver) or under [Printer
Features] (PostScript 3 printer driver), print will be at
lower density. For details, see the printer driver Help.
• Toner is almost depleted. If “Toner Almost Empty Replace
Required Soon: Toner Cartridge (X)” (“X” indicates the
toner color) appears on the screen, replace the indicated
print cartridge.
• Condensation may have collected. If rapid change in
temperature or humidity occurs, use this machine only
after it has acclimatized.
The toner is powdery and comes
away from the paper, or the printed
image has a matt appearance.
Check if the fusing unit levers are properly set. Pull up the
fusing unit levers.
Printed envelopes come out creased. Check if the fusing unit levers are properly set. Lower the fusing
unit levers.
