The problem may be with your software program or your
interface cable. Try printing a status sheet through the printer
driver. If blank pages continue to print, the problem may be with
the printer. Turn off the printer and contact your dealer.
Your paper may be moist or damp. The higher the moisture
content of the paper, the lighter the printed output. Do not store
paper in a humid or damp environment.
