Troubleshooting Printing (continued) Difficulty The machine prints dense lines on the page. The printouts are wrinkled. Cannot perform "Page Layout" printing. Print speed is too slow. True2Life® is not working properly. Photo paper does not feed properly. Machine feeds multiple pages. There is a paper jam. Printed pages are not stacked neatly. Machine does not print from Adobe® Illustrator®. Suggestions Check Reverse Order in the Basic tab of the printer driver. In the printer driver Advanced tab, click Color Settings, and uncheck Bi-Directional Printing for Windows® or Bi-Directional Printing for Macintosh. Make sure you are using Genuine Brother Innobella™ Ink. Check that the paper size setting in the application and in the printer driver are the same. Try changing the printer driver setting. The highest resolution needs longer data processing, sending and printing time. Try the other quality settings in the printer driver Advanced tab. Also, click Color Settings, and make sure you uncheck Color Enhancement (True2Life®). Turn the borderless feature off. Borderless printing is slower than normal printing. (See Printing for Windows® or Printing and Faxing for Macintosh in the Software User's Guide.) If the image data is not full color in your application (such as 256 color), True2Life® will not work. Use at least 24 bit color data with the True2Life® feature. When you print on Brother Photo paper, load one extra sheet of the same photo paper in the paper tray. An extra sheet has been included in the paper package for this purpose. Clean the paper pick-up rollers. (See Cleaning the paper pick-up rollers in appendix A in the Advanced User's Guide.) Make sure the paper is loaded properly in the paper tray. (See Loading paper and other print media on page 9.) Check that more than two types of paper are not loaded in the paper tray at any one time. Make sure the paper length guide is set to the correct paper size. Do not extend the paper tray when you load A5 or smaller size paper. (See Printer jam or paper jam on page 65.) Make sure you are using the paper support flap. (See Loading paper and other print media on page 9.) Try to reduce the print resolution. (See Printing for Windows® or Printing and Faxing for Macintosh in the Software User's Guide.) Printing Received Faxes B Difficulty Condensed print and white streaks across the page or the top and bottom of sentences are cut off. Suggestions You probably had a bad connection, with static or interference on the telephone line. Ask the other party to send the fax again. Vertical black lines when receiving. The sender's scanner may be dirty. Ask the sender to make a copy to see if the problem is with the sending machine. Try receiving from another fax machine. Received color fax prints only in black & white. Left and Right margins are cut off or a single page is printed on two pages. Replace the color ink cartridges that have reached the end of their life, and then ask the other person to send the color fax again. (See Replacing the ink cartridges on page 53.) Turn on Auto Reduction. (See Printing a reduced incoming fax in chapter 4 in the Advanced User's Guide.) 69
