    Improving the print qualityC
    If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (Menu, 4, 2, 3). If the printout looks good, 
    the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable or try the machine on another 
    computer.
    Note
    You can resolve a print quality problem by replacing a toner cartridge with a new one when the 
    LCD shows the Toner Life End message.
