Troubleshooting

284

There is considerable delay be-

tween the print start command

and actual printing.

•

Processing time depends on data volume. High volume

data, such as graphics-heavy documents, take longer to

process.

•

If "Processing" is displayed on the screen, the machine is

receiving data. Wait for a while.

•

To speed up printing, reduce the printing resolution us-

ing the printer driver. For details, see the printer driver

Help.

•

The machine is calibrating color. Wait for a while.

Prints fall behind the machine

when they are output.

Raise the appropriate stop fence (forward fence for A4/Let-

ter, rear fence for Legal size prints). See p.21 “Exterior: Rear

View”.

Prints do not stack properly.

•

Paper is damp. Use paper that has been stored properly.

See p.64 “Paper and Other Media”.

•

. Note that if you select

, the first print takes longer than subsequent

prints to complete.

•

Raise the appropriate stop fence (forward fence for

A4/Letter, rear fence for Legal size prints). See p.21 “Ex-

terior: Rear View”.

The whole printout is blurred.

•

Paper is damp. Use paper that has been stored properly.

Toner is almost depleted. If “Near End X Toner” (“X" in-

dicates the toner color) appears on the screen, replace the

indicated print cartridge.

•

Condensation may have collected. If rapid change in

temperature or humidity occurs, use this machine only

after it has acclimatized.

The toner is powdery and comes

away from the paper, or the

printed image has a matt appear-

ance.

Check if the fusing unit lever is lowered or the grey knobs

are positioned as in the image below.
