Background scatter Background scatter results from bits of toner distributed on the printed page. The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary, so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture.

If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or the printer properties. Misformed characters If characters are improperly formed and produce hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different paper. See "Paper Specifications". If characters are improperly formed and produce a wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. For service, contact a service representative.
