TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS RELATED TO PRINT RESULTS Problem The image is grainy. The image is too light or too dark. Text and lines are faint and difficult to see. Part of the image is cut off. Point to check Are the printer driver settings appropriate for the print job? Does the image (particularly a photo) need correction? (Windows) Was color data printed? (Windows) Does the paper size specified by the job match the size of paper loaded in the tray? Is the print orientation setting (portrait or landscape) correct? Are the margins set correctly in the layout settings of the application? Solution When selecting print settings, you can set the print mode to [Normal] or [Fine]. When you need a very clear image, select [Fine]. (This function is not available when using the PCL5e printer driver.) Windows: The resolution setting is selected in the [Advanced] tab of the printer driver properties window. Macintosh: This is done in the [Advanced] menu of the [Printer Features] menu of the print screen. Brightness and contrast can be corrected by performing [Image Adjustment] on the [Advanced] tab of the printer driver. These settings can be used for simple corrections when you do not have image editing software installed on your computer. When color text and lines are printed, they may become faint and difficult to see. To have color text or lines (areas) that are faint converted to black, select [Text To Black] or [Vector To Black] on the [Advanced] tab of the printer driver. (Raster data such as bitmap images cannot be adjusted.) Make sure that the paper size setting matches the size of paper loaded in the tray. The paper size setting is selected as follows: Windows: On the [Paper] tab of the printer driver. If [Fit to Paper Size] is selected, check the loaded paper and the paper size setting. Macintosh: In the [Page Setup] menu. Set the print orientation to match the image. The print orientation is selected as follows: Windows: On the [Main] tab of the printer driver. Macintosh: In the [Page Setup] menu. If the edge of the image extends outside the printable area of the machine, the edge will be cut off. Select an appropriate paper size and margins in the layout settings of the application. 8-21 Contents
