Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Improving the print quality C If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (Menu, 4, 2, 3). If the printout looks good, the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections or try printing a different document. If the printout or test page printed from the machine has a quality problem, check the following steps first. And then, if you still have a print quality problem, check the chart below and follow the recommendation. a Check that you use the paper that meets our specifications. (See Acceptable paper and other C print media on page 18.) Note To get the best print quality, we suggest using the recommended paper. (See Recommended paper and print media on page 18.) b Check that the drum units and toner cartridges are installed properly.
