TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Colors are off. Text and lines are faint and difficult to see. Part of the image is cut off. The image is upside down. Point to check Did you perform "Registration Adjustment"? Was color data printed in black and white? (Windows) Does the paper size specified by the job match the size of paper loaded in the tray? Is the print orientation setting (portrait or landscape) correct? Are the margins set correctly in the layout settings of the application? Are you using a type of paper (punch paper, etc.) that can only be loaded in a fixed orientation? Solution Ask your administrator to perform "Registration Adjustment". If the colors are out of position in the printed output of a color print job, "Registration Adjustment" can be used to adjust the print position of each color. ➞ System Settings (Administrator) > "Device Control" > "Other Settings" > "Registration Adjustment" If the color tones are off, perform "Auto Color Calibration". (If the colors are still off after calibration, repeating calibration may improve the results.) ➞ System Settings (Administrator) > "Printer Settings" > "Auto Color Calibration" When color text and lines are printed in black and white, they may become faint and difficult to see. To have color text or lines (areas) that are faint converted to black, select [Text To Black] or [Vector To Black] on the [Color] tab of the printer driver. (Raster data such as bitmap images cannot be adjusted.) Make sure that the paper size setting matches the size of paper loaded in the tray. The paper size setting is selected as follows: Windows: On the [Paper] tab of the printer driver. If [Fit to Paper Size] is selected, check the loaded paper and the paper size setting. Macintosh: In the [Page Setup] menu. Set the print orientation to match the image. The print orientation is selected as follows: Windows: On the [Main] tab of the printer driver. Macintosh: In the [Page Setup] menu. If the edge of the image extends outside the printable area of the machine, the edge will be cut off. Select an appropriate paper size and margins in the layout settings of the application. When the image size and paper size are the same but the orientations are different, the orientation of the image is automatically rotated to match the paper. However, when the paper can only be loaded in a fixed orientation, this may result in the image being printed upside down. In this event, rotate the image 180 degrees before printing. The 180 degree rotation setting is selected as follows: Windows: On the [Main] tab of the printer driver. Macintosh: On the [Page Setup] menu. (Landscape orientation only.) 8-25 Contents
