CHECK THE PAPER TYPE • Try a different type of paper. • Use only the recommended transparencies. • Ensure that the Paper Type setting matches what is loaded in the tray or feeder. • Ensure that the Paper Texture setting is correct for the type of paper or specialty media loaded in the tray or feeder. ENSURE THAT THE TONER IS DISTRIBUTED EVENLY WITHIN THE TONER CARTRIDGE Remove the toner cartridge and shake it from side to side to redistribute the toner, and then reinstall it. THE TONER CARTRIDGE MAY BE DEFECTIVE OR LOW ON TONER Replace the used toner cartridge with a new one. Print is too light These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following: CHECK THE DARKNESS, BRIGHTNESS, AND CONTRAST SETTINGS The Toner Darkness setting is too light, the Brightness setting is too light, or the Contrast setting is too low. • Change these settings from the printer control panel Quality menu. • For Windows users, change these settings from Print Properties. • For Macintosh users, change these settings from the Print dialog and pop-up menus. THE PAPER HAS ABSORBED MOISTURE DUE TO HIGH HUMIDITY • Load paper from a fresh package. • Store paper in its original wrapper until you use it. CHECK THE PAPER Avoid textured paper with rough finishes. Troubleshooting 287
