DIFFICULTY SUGGESTIONS Print Quality Difficulties Printed pages are curled. Thin or thick paper below the standard can cause this problem. Make sure you select the Paper Type that suits the media type you use. (See Setting the Paper Type on page 4-1 and Media Type on page 7-4.) Printed pages are smeared. The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are using-OR-The print media may be too thick or have a rough surface. (See Setting the Paper Type on page 4-1 and Media Type on page 7-4.) Printouts are too light. Set Toner Save mode to off in the Advance tab in the printer driver. (See Toner Save Mode on page 7-6.) Network Difficulties I cannot print over the Network Make sure that your DCP is powered on and is On Line and in Ready mode. Press the Test switch.
