CHECK THE PAPER TYPE • Try a different type of paper. • Use only transparencies recommended by the printer manufacturer. • Make sure the Paper Type and Paper Texture settings match the paper loaded in the tray or feeder. MAKE SURE THE TONER IS DISTRIBUTED EVENLY IN THE PRINT CARTRIDGE Remove the print cartridge and shake it from side to side to redistribute the toner, and then reinstall it. THE PRINT CARTRIDGE MAY BE DEFECTIVE OR LOW ON TONER Replace the used print cartridge with a new one. Print is too light These are possible solutions. Try one or more of the following: CHECK THE DARKNESS, BRIGHTNESS, AND CONTRAST SETTINGS The Toner Darkness setting is too light, the Brightness setting is too light, or the Contrast setting is too low. • From the printer control panel, change these settings from the Quality menu. • For Windows users, change these settings from Print Properties. • For Macintosh users, change these settings from the Print dialog and pop-up menus. THE PAPER HAS ABSORBED MOISTURE DUE TO HIGH HUMIDITY • Load paper from a fresh package. • Store paper in its original wrapper until you use it. CHECK THE PAPER Avoid textured paper with rough finishes. Troubleshooting 284
