Problem Cause Solution Toner appears around the printed characters. The media might be loaded incorrectly. If large amounts of toner have scattered around the characters, the paper might have high resistivity. Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Use a different paper, such as high-quality paper that is intended for laser printers. See Paper and print media on page 35. An image that appears at the top of the page (in solid black) repeats farther down the page (in a gray field). Software settings might affect image printing. The order of images printed might affect printing. A power surge might have affected the product. In your software program, change the tone (darkness) of the field in which the repeated image appears. In your software program, rotate the whole page 180° to print the lighter image first. Change the order in which the images are printed. For example, have the lighter image at the top of the page, and the darker image farther down the page. If the defect occurs later in a print job, turn the product off for 10 minutes, and then turn on the product to restart the print job. Media-handling problems Use the information in this section when the product experiences media-handling problems. Print-media guidelines ● For best results, make sure that the paper is of good quality, and free of cuts, nicks, tears, spots, loose particles, dust, wrinkles, voids, staples, and curled or bent edges. ● For best-quality printing, use a smooth type of paper. Generally, smoother media produces better results. ● If you are unsure what type of paper you are loading (such as bond or recycled), check the label on the package of paper. ● Do not use media that is designed for inkjet printers only. Use media that is designed for laser printers. ● Do not use letterhead paper that is printed with low-temperature inks, such as those used in some types of thermography. ● Do not use raised or embossed letterhead. ● The product uses heat and pressure to fuse toner to the paper. Make sure that any colored paper or preprinted forms use inks that are compatible with this fusing temperature (200°C or 392°F for 0.1 second). CAUTION: Failure to follow these guidelines could cause jams or damage to the product. 152 Chapter 12 Problem solve ENWW
