(See instructions provided with the toner cartridge.) If the page is totally blank (all white) check to make sure the sealing tape is removed from the toner cartridge and ensure that the toner cartridge is installed correctly. Newer printers have been optimized to print characters more accurately. This may result in characters looking lighter or thinner than you are used to having them print on your older printer. If the page is printing images darker than on an older printer, and you want the images to match the older printer, in your printer driver, select the Finishing tab, choose Print Quality, choose Custom, click on Details, and deselect Print Images Lighter. 84 Chapter 4 Problem Solving ENWW
