Print-Quality Problems Troubleshooting This section includes: • Using Built-in Troubleshooting Tools on page 201 • Troubleshooting Print-Quality Problems on page 203 Your WorkCentre 6400 printer is designed to produce consistently high-quality prints. If you observe print-quality problems, use the information on these pages to troubleshoot the problem. For more information, go online to Xerox Support & Drivers at www.xerox.com/office/WC6400support. Caution: The Xerox warranty, service agreement, or Total Satisfaction Guarantee does not cover damage caused by using unsupported paper, transparencies, or other specialty media. The Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage may vary outside these areas; please contact your local representative for details. Note: To enhance print quality, toner/print cartridge(s) for many models of equipment have been designed to cease functioning at a predetermined point. Note: Grayscale images printed with the composite black setting count as color pages, because color consumables are used. This is the default setting on most printers.
