Printing quality problems

283

Troubleshooting

Loose toner

•

Clean the inside of the machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 90).

•

Check the paper type and quality.

•

Remove the imaging unit and then, install a new one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 82).

If the problem persists, the machine may require repair. Contact a service representative.

Character voids

Character voids are white areas within parts of characters that should be solid black:

•

You may be printing on the wrong surface of the paper. Remove the paper and turn it around.

•

The paper may not meet paper specifications.

Horizontal stripes

If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears appear:

•

The imaging unit may be installed improperly. Remove the imaging unit and reinsert it.

•

The imaging unit may be defective. Remove the imaging unit and install a new one (see "Replacing the imaging unit" on page 86).

If the problem persists, the machine may require repairing. Contact a service representative.
