• 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

(see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82).

• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page

82). 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 paper

The 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 (see

"Opening printing preferences" on page 51).

6. Troubleshooting

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 (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82).

• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact a service representative (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82).

Dropouts 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 (see "Opening

printing preferences" on page 51).

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 (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82).

• The paper path may need cleaning. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82).

If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.

6. Troubleshooting

Vertical lines If black vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The surface (drum part) of the cartridge inside the machine has probably been scratched. Remove the cartridge and install a new

one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 70, "Replacing the imaging unit" on page 73).

If white vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page

82). If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.

Black or color 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 (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 70).

• Thoroughly redistribute the toner (see "Redistributing toner" on page 68).

Toner smear • Clean the inside of the machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 82).

• Check the paper type and quality.

• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 70).

6. Troubleshooting

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 (see

"Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 70).

• 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.

Background 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 from the Printing Preferences window (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 51).

• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application

or in Printing Preferences (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 51). Ensure the correct paper type is selected. For example:

If Thicker Paper is selected, but Plain Paper actually used, an overcharging can occur causing this copy quality problem.

• If you are using a new toner cartridge, redistribute the toner first (see "Redistributing toner" on page 68).

Toner particles are around bold

characters or pictures

The 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 (see

"Opening printing preferences" on page 51).

• Ensure the correct paper type is selected. For example: If Thicker Paper is selected, but Plain Paper actually used, an overcharging

can occur causing this copy quality problem.

6. Troubleshooting

Common Linux problems

Refer to the Linux User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Linux error messages.

condition Suggested solutions

The machine does not print. • Check if the printer driver is installed in your system. Open Unified Driver Configurator and switch to the Printers tab

in Printers configuration window to look at the list of available machines. Make sure that your machine is displayed

on the list. If not, open Add new printer wizard to set up your device.

• Check if the machine is started. Open Printers configuration and select your machine on the printers list. Look at the

description in the Selected printer pane. If its status contains Stopped string, press the Start button. After that normal

operation of the machine should be restored. The “stopped” status might be activated when some problems in printing

occurred.

• Check if your application has special print option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified in the command line parameter,

then remove it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select “print” -> “Setup printer” and edit command line parameter

in the command item.

I encounter error “Cannot open port

device file” when printing a document.

Avoid changing print job parameters (via LPR GUI, for example) while a print job is in progress. Known versions of CUPS

(Common UNIX Printing System) server break the print job whenever print options are changed and then try to restart the

job from the beginning. Since Unified Linux Driver locks the port while printing, the abrupt termination of the driver keeps

the port locked and unavailable for subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurs, try to release the port by selecting

Release port in Port configuration window.

When printing a document over the

network in SuSE 9.2, the printer does not

print.

The CUPS (Common UNIX Printing System) version distributed with SuSE Linux 9.2 (cups-1.1.21) has a problem with ipp

(Internet Printing Protocol) printing. Use the socket printing instead of ipp or install later version of CUPS (Common UNIX

Printing System) (cups-1.1.22 or higher).

Operating system problems

6. Troubleshooting

Common PostScript problems

The following situations are PS language specific and may occur when several printer languages are used.

Problem Possible cause Solution

The PostScript file cannot be

printed

The PostScript driver may not be installed

correctly.

• Install the PostScript driver (see "Software Installation" on page 133).

• Print a configuration page and verify that the PS version is available for

printing.

• If the problem persists, contact a service representative.

Limit Check Error report prints The print job was too complex. You might need to reduce the complexity of the page or install more memory.

A PostScript error page prints The print job may not be PostScript. Make sure that the print job is a PostScript job. Check to see whether the software

application expected a setup or PostScript header file to be sent to the machine.

The optional tray is not

selected in the driver

The printer driver has not been configured to

recognize the optional tray.

Open the driver properties, select the Device Options tab, and set the tray option

(see "Setting Device Options" on page 76).

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.

802.11

802.11 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/n

802.11b/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 point

Access 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.

ADF

An 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.

AppleTalk

AppleTalk 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 Depth

A 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.

BMP

A bitmapped graphics format used internally by the Microsoft Windows

graphics subsystem (GDI), and used commonly as a simple graphics file format

on that platform.

Glossary

280

Glossary

BOOTP

Bootstrap 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.

CCD

Charge 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.

Collation

Collation 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 Panel

A control panel is a flat, typically vertical, area where control or monitoring

instruments are displayed. They are typically found in front of the machine.

Coverage

It 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.

CSV

Comma 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.

DADF

A 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.

Default

The value or setting that is in effect when taking a printer out of its box state,

reset, or initialized.

Glossary

281

Glossary

DHCP

A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a client-server networking
