Troubleshooting 4

Maintaining print quality

If you notice a problem with the quality of your prints, the probable solution is replacing one of the consumable components (Toner Cartridges, Imaging Unit, Fuser, Fuser Roll, Transfer Kit, or Main Charge Grid).

If the printer’s front panel message indicates replacing one or more consumables, replace it if necessary.

To help you diagnose the problem (in the absence of a front panel message), print the Consumables Page and Service Print 1 from the front panel’s Help Pages menu. Refer to “Symptoms and solutions” on page 70 for examples of symptoms, probable causes, and solutions.
