    Troubleshooting and routine 
    maintenance
    C
    Copy difficulties
    DifficultiesSuggestions
    Vertical black line appears in 
    copies. Black vertical lines on copies are typically caused by dirt or correction fluid on the 
    glass strip, or the corona wire is dirty. (See 
    Cleaning the scanner on page 73 and 
    Cleaning the corona wires  on page 75.)
    Copies are blank. Make sure you are loading the document properly. (See  Using the automatic 
    document feeder (ADF)  on page 20 or Using the scanner glass  on page 21.)

    Paper handling difficulties
    DifficultiesSuggestions
    The machine does not load paper.
    The LCD shows  No Paper or a 
    Paper Jam message. „
    If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray.
    „ If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, 
    you should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the 
    stack over and put it back into the paper tray.
    „ Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again.
    „ Make sure that manual feed mode is not chosen in the printer driver.
    „ Clean the paper pick-up roller. See  Cleaning the paper pick-up rollers 
    on page 81.
    „ If the LCD shows the Paper Jam message and you still have a problem, see 
    Paper jams  on page 67.
    The machine does not feed paper 
    from the manual feed slot. „
    Make sure that  Manual is chosen in the printer driver.
    „ Make sure the paper or print media is loaded properly in the manual feed slot. 
    See  Loading paper in the manual feed slot  on page 11.
    How do I print on envelopes? You can load envelopes from the manual feed slot. Your application must be set  up to print the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup 
    or Document Setup menu of your application. (See your application’s manual for 
    more information.)
    What paper can I use? You can use thin paper, plain paper, thick paper, bond paper, recycled paper,  envelopes and labels that are made for laser machines. (For details, see 
    Acceptable paper and other print media  on page 15.)
    There is a paper jam. Clear the jammed paper. (See  Paper jams on page 67.)
    Print quality difficulties
    DifficultiesSuggestions
    Printed pages are curled. „Low quality thin or thick paper or not printing on the recommended side of the 
    paper could cause this problem. Try turning over the stack of paper in the 
    paper tray.
    „ Make sure that you choose the Paper Type that suits the print media type you 
    are using. (See  Acceptable paper and other print media  on page 15.)
    Printed  pages  are  smeared. The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are using,  or the print media may be too thick or have a rough surface. (See  Acceptable 
    paper and other print media  on page 15 and Basic tab in the Software User’s 
    Guide  on the CD-ROM.)
    Printouts are too light. „If this problem occurs when making copies, turn Toner Save mode to  Off in 
    the machine menu settings. (See  Toner Save on page 23.)
    „ Set Toner Save mode to  Off in the  Advanced  tab in the printer driver. (See 
    Advanced tab  in the Software User’s Guide  on the CD-ROM.)
    „ In the  Basic tab of the printer driver, click the  Settings button and check the 
    Enhance Black Printing  check box.

    CD-ROM for more information.
    Make sure your machine is powered on and is on-line and in the Ready mode. 
    Print the Network Configuration list to see your current Network settings. (See 
    Network Configuration List  on page 106.) Reconnect the LAN cable to the hub to 
    verify that the cable and network connections are good. If possible, try 
    connecting the machine to a different port on your hub using a different cable. If 
    the connections are good, the lower LED of the back panel of the machine will be 
    green.

    The  machine  will  not  turn  on. Adverse conditions on the power connection (such as lightning or a power surge) 
    may have triggered the machine’s internal safety mechanisms. Turn the machine 
    off and unplug the power cord. Wait for ten minutes, then plug in the power cord 
    and turn the machine on.
    If the problem is not solved, turn off the machine. Plug the power cord into a 
    different known working outlet and turn on the machine.

    Improving the print qualityC
    If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (Menu, 3, 2, 3). If the printout looks good, 
    the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections or try printing a 
    different document. If the printout or test page printed from the machine has a quality problem, 
    check the following steps first. And then, if you still have a print quality problem, check the chart 
    below and follow the recommendation.
    aCheck that you use the paper that meets our specifications. (See Acceptable paper and other 
    print media on page 15.)
    Note
    To get the best print quality, we suggest using the recommended paper. (See Recommended 
    paper and print media on page 15.)
