Condition Possible cause Suggested solutions Pages print, but are blank. The toner cartridge is defective or out of toner. Redistribute the toner, if necessary. See "Redistributing Toner" on page 8.4. If necessary, replace the toner cartridge. The file may have blank pages. Check the file to ensure that it does not contain blank pages. Some parts, such as the controller or the board, may be defective. Contact a service representative. An error occurs repeatedly when you are printing with the USB connection. When the USB mode is set to "Fast", some PC user may experience poor USB communication. Change the USB mode to "Slow". To do so, follow these steps: 1. Press Menu until "Machine Setup" appears on the display. 2. Press the scroll button ( or ) until "USB Mode" appears on the bottom line and press Enter. 3. Press the scroll button ( or ) to select "Slow". 4. Press Enter to save the selection. 5. Press Stop/Clear to return to Standby Mode. Printing Quality Problems If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the problem. Condition Suggested solutions Light or faded print AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page: • The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily • extend the toner cartridge life. See "Redistributing Toner" on page 8.4. If this does not improve the print quality, install a new toner cartridge. • The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example, the paper is too moist or too rough. See "Paper Specifications" on page 10.3. • If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too low or the toner save mode is on. Adjust the print resolution and turn the toner save mode off. For details, see Software User's Guide and "Toner Save Mode" on page 2.12, respectively. • A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. See "Cleaning the Drum" on page 8.5. • The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU ("Cleaning the Inside" on page 8.2). Contact a service representative.
