Troubleshooting Improving the print quality 7 If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (see Menu table on page 77). If the printout looks good, the problem is probably not the printer. Check the interface cable or try the printer on another computer. This section gives information on the following topics. Note You can resolve a print quality problem by replacing a toner cartridge with a new one when the toner indicators start blinking or the LCD shows the Toner Life End message. Examples of poor print quality White lines or bands or ribbing across the page Recommendation Make sure that the printer is on a solid level surface. Make sure that the back cover is closed properly.
