Try reprinting the job. • Try adjusting the print density through your software or printer driver. • The moisture content of the paper may be inconsistent, or the paper may have moist or wet spots on the surface. Try paper from a fresh ream or a different paper manufacturer. See Appendix B for paper specifications. • The paper may have been damaged by inconsistent manufacturing processes. Try paper from a different source. Half of the Page Is Blank or Loss of Detail The bottom of the page is blank, or part of a graphics image is cut off.

Curled or Wrinkled Sheets Media is curled or wrinkled when using the Paper Output Bin. • Use the Front Output Slot by pushing the Paper Path Lever to the lower position.
