are patchy.
The machine is not on a level surface.
Place the machine on a stable and
level surface.
Make sure the machine's environ-
ment meets requirements. See
p.93 “Where to Put Your Ma-
chine”.
Copies contain blots or
are patchy.
The paper is creased, curled, or
has blemishes.
Smooth out the wrinkles from the
paper, or replace it. See “Copy Pa-
per”, About This Machine.
If paper comes out curled, adjust
the Output Tray. See “Originals”,

Use paper that has been stored in
the recommended temperature and
humidity condition. See “Copy Pa-
per”, About This Machine.
