10. Troubleshooting When You Cannot Print Clearly Problem The whole printout is blurred. Toner smears appear on the print side of the page. Horizontal lines appear on the printed paper. Photo images are coarse. White spots appear. Solution • The paper being used may be damp. Use paper that has been stored properly. See page 77 "Supported Paper". • If you enable [Toner Saving] under [System Settings], printing is generally less dense. • The print cartridge is almost empty. If "Replacement Required: Print Cartridge" appears on the screen, replace the indicated print cartridge. • Condensation may have occurred. If rapid change in temperature or humidity occurs, use this machine only after it has acclimatized. • The paper setting may not be correct. For example, although you are using thick paper, the setting for thick paper may not be specified. Check the printer driver's paper settings. See the printer driver Help. • Check that the paper is not curled or bent. Envelopes can be curled easily. Flatten out the paper before loading it. See page 58 "Loading Paper". • Impact can cause lines to appear on printed paper and other malfunctions. Protect the printer from impact at all times, especially while it is printing. • If lines appear on prints, turn the printer off, wait a few moments, and then turn it back on again. Then, perform the print job again. Some applications lower the resolution for making prints. The surrounding registration roller or paper tray can become dirty with paper dust if you use paper other than standard paper. Wipe any paper dust off both the paper tray and registration roller. 444
