2025. TroubleshootingPrinting quality problemsIf the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, there might be a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the problem. Condition Suggested SolutionsLight or faded print • If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page, the toner supply is low. Install a new toner cartridge.• The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough.• If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too low or the toner save mode is on. Adjust the print resolution and turn the toner save mode off. See the help screen of the printer driver.• A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. Clean the inside of your machine.• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.The top half of the paper is printed lighter than the rest of the paperThe toner might not adhere properly to this type of paper.• Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences , click the Paper tab, and set the paper type to Recycled.Toner specks • The paper may not meet specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or rough.• The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine.• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact a service representative.AaBbCcAaBbCcAaBbCcAaBbCcAaBbCc
Printing quality problems2035. TroubleshootingDropouts If faded areas, generally rounded, occur randomly on the page:• A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the job.• The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has moist spots on its surface. Try a different brand of paper.• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.• Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences, click the Paper tab, and set type to Thick.If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.White Spots If white spots appear on the page:• The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from paper falls to the inner components within the machine, so the transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine.• The paper path may need cleaning. Clean the inside of your machine.If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.Vertical lines If black vertical streaks appear on the page:• The surface (drum part) of the toner cartridge inside the machine has probably been scratched.

Printing quality problems2045. TroubleshootingBlack background If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable:• Change to a lighter weight paper.• Check the environmental conditions: very dry conditions or a high level of humidity (higher than 80% RH) can increase the amount of background shading.• Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one.• Thoroughly redistribute the toner (see "Redistributing toner" on page 49).Toner smear • Clean the inside of the machine.• Check the paper type and quality.• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.Vertical repetitive defects If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals:• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If you still have the same problem, remove the toner cartridge and, install a new one.• Parts of the machine may have toner on them. If the defects occur on the back of the page, the problem will likely correct itself after a few more pages.• The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a service representative.Condition Suggested Solutions
Printing quality problems2055. TroubleshootingBackground scatter Background scatter results from bits of toner randomly distributed on the printed page. • The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture.• If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems.Or select Thick Envelope from the Printing Preferences window (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 40).• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or in Printing Preferences. Ensure the correct paper type is selected.• If you are using a new toner cartridge, redistribute the toner first. Toner particles are around bold characters or picturesThe toner might not adhere properly to this type of paper.• Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences, click the Paper tab, and set the paper type to Recycled. Ensure the correct paper type is selected.Misformed characters • If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try different paper.Condition Suggested SolutionsA
Printing quality problems2065. TroubleshootingPage skew • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.• Check the paper type and quality.• Ensure that the guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack.Curl or wave • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.• Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity can cause paper curl.• Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.Wrinkles or creases • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.• Check the paper type and quality.• Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.Condition Suggested Solutions

Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.• The machine may require repairing. Contact a service representative.Loose toner • Clean the inside of the machine.• Check the paper type and quality.• Remove the toner cartridge and then, install a new one.If the problem persists, the machine may require repair. Contact a service representative.Condition Suggested SolutionsA
Printing quality problems2085. TroubleshootingCharacter voids Character voids are white areas within parts of characters that should be solid black:• If you are using transparencies, try another type of transparency. Because of the composition of transparencies, some character voids are normal. • You may be printing on the wrong surface of the paper. Remove the paper and turn it around. • The paper may not meet paper specifications.Horizontal stripes If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears appear:• The toner cartridge may be installed improperly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert it.• The toner cartridge may be defective. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one.If the problem persists, the machine may require repairing.

Operating system problems2115. Troubleshooting2 Common Mac problems Refer to the Mac User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Mac error messages. Condition Suggested solutionsThe machine does not print PDF files correctly. Some parts of graphics, text, or illustrations are missing.Printing the PDF file as an image may enable the file to print. Turn on Print As Image from the Acrobat printing options. It will take longer to print when you print a PDF file as an image. Some letters are not displayed normally during cover page printing.Mac OS cannot create the font while printing the cover page. The English alphabet and numbers are displayed normally on the cover page.When printing a document in Mac with Acrobat Reader 6.0 or higher, colors print incorrectly.Make sure that the resolution setting in your machine driver matches the one in Acrobat Reader.
Operating system problems2125. Troubleshooting3 Common Linux problems Refer to the Linux User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Linux error messages. Condition Suggested solutionsWhen printing more than one copy, the second copy does not print. The problem occurs on Ubuntu 12.04 due to the problem in standard CUPS filter 'pdftops'. Update 'cups-filters' package to version 1.0.18 to fix the problem ('pdftops' is a part of 'cups-filters' package).Unchecking the collate option in the Print Dialog does not work.For some distributions, GNOME Print Dialog has an issue handling the collate option. As workaround, set the default value of collate option to False using the system's printing utility(execute "system-config-printer" in the Terminal program).Printing always works with duplex.This duplex issue was in Ubuntu 9.10 CUPS package. Update CUPS version to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.2.Printer is not added through system's printing utility.The problem occurs on Debian 7 due to the defect in 'system-config-printer' package of the Debian 7 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=662813 in Debian bug tracking system). Please use another way to add printer (CUPS WebUI for example)Paper size and orientation are disabled in the Print Dialog when opening text files.The problem occurs on Fedora 19 and it's related to 'leafpad' text editor on Fedora 19. Please use other text editors like 'gedit'.

221.Glossary The following glossary helps you get familiar with the product by understanding the terminologies commonly used with printing as well as mentioned in this user’s guide. 802.11802.11 is a set of standards for wireless local area network (WLAN) communication, developed by the IEEE LAN/MAN Standards Committee (IEEE 802). 802.11b/g/n802.11b/g/n can share same hardware and use the 2.4 GHz band. 802.11b supports bandwidth up to 11 Mbps, 802.11n supports bandwidth up to 150 Mbps. 802.11b/g/n devices may occasionally suffer interference from microwave ovens, cordless telephones, and Bluetooth devices.Access pointAccess Point or Wireless Access Point (AP or WAP) is a device that connects wireless communication devices together on wireless local area networks (WLAN), and acts as a central transmitter and receiver of WLAN radio signals. ADFAn Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) is a scanning unit that will automatically feed an original sheet of paper so that the machine can scan some amount of the paper at once. AppleTalkAppleTalk is a proprietary suite of protocols developed by Apple, Inc for computer networking. It was included in the original Mac (1984) and is now deprecated by Apple in favor of TCP/IP networking.BIT DepthA computer graphics term describing the number of bits used to represent the color of a single pixel in a bitmapped image. Higher color depth gives a broader range of distinct colors. As the number of bits increases, the number of possible colors becomes impractically large for a color map. 1-bit color is commonly called as monochrome or black and white.BMPA bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft Windows graphics subsystem (GDI), and used commonly as a simple graphics file format on that platform.
Glossary222.BOOTPBootstrap Protocol. A network protocol used by a network client to obtain its IP address automatically. This is usually done in the bootstrap process of computers or operating systems running on them. The BOOTP servers assign the IP address from a pool of addresses to each client. BOOTP enables 'diskless workstation' computers to obtain an IP address prior to loading any advanced operating system.CCDCharge Coupled Device (CCD) is a hardware which enables the scan job. CCD Locking mechanism is also used to hold the CCD module to prevent any damage when you move the machine.CollationCollation is a process of printing a multiple-copy job in sets. When collation is selected, the device prints an entire set before printing additional copies.Control PanelA control panel is a flat, typically vertical, area where control or monitoring instruments are displayed. They are typically found in front of the machine. CoverageIt is the printing term used for a toner usage measurement on printing. For example, 5% coverage means that an A4 sided paper has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original has complicated images or lots of text on it, the coverage will be higher and at the same time, a toner usage will be as much as the coverage.CSVComma Separated Values (CSV). A type of file format, CSV is used to exchange data between disparate applications. The file format, as it is used in Microsoft Excel, has become a de facto standard throughout the industry, even among non-Microsoft platforms.DADFA Duplex Automatic Document Feeder (DADF) is a scanning unit that will automatically feed and turn over an original sheet of paper so that the machine can scan on both sides of the paper.DefaultThe value or setting that is in effect when taking a printer out of its box state, reset, or initialized.
Glossary223.DHCPA Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server networking protocol. A DHCP server provides configuration parameters specific to the DHCP client host requesting, generally, information required by the client host to participate on an IP network. DHCP also provides a mechanism for allocation of IP addresses to client hosts.DIMMDual Inline Memory Module (DIMM), a small circuit board that holds memory. DIMM stores all the data within the machine like printing data, received fax data.DLNAThe Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a standard that allows devices on a home network to share information with each other across the network.DNSThe Domain Name Server (DNS) is a system that stores information associated with domain names in a distributed database on networks, such as the Internet.Dot Matrix PrinterA dot matrix printer refers to a type of computer printer with a print head that runs back and forth on the page and prints by impact, striking an ink-soaked cloth ribbon against the paper, much like a typewriter.DPIDots Per Inch (DPI) is a measurement of resolution that is used for scanning and printing.
