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.
The machine 
prints, but 

the 
text is wrong, 
garbled, or 
incomplete. The machine cable 
i
s loose or defective. Disconnect the machine cable and 
recon
nect. Try a print job that you 
have already printed successfully. 
If possible, attach the cable and 
the machine to another computer 
that you know works and try a print 
job. Finally, try a new machine 
cable.
The wrong printer 
d
 river was selected. Check the application’s printer 
sele
ction menu to ensure that your 
machine is selected.
The software 
a
 pplication is 
malfunctioning. Try printing a job from another 
ap
plication.
The operating 
system is 
ma
 lfunctioning. Exit Windows and reboot the 
co
mputer. Turn the machine off 
and back on again.
If you are in a DOS 
en
 vironment, the font 
setting for your 
machine may be set 
incorrectly. See 
Changing font setting 
(CLP-320N(K)/CLP-321N/CLP-32
5W(K)/ /CLP-326W only) on 
page  51 .
Pages print, but 
they
  are blank. The toner cartridge 
is de
fective or out of 
toner. Redistribute the toner, if 
necessary.
If necessary, replace the toner 
cartridge.
The file may have 
b
 lank pages. Check the file to ensure that it does 
no
t contain blank pages.
Some parts, such as 
the
  controller or the 
board, may be 
defective. Contact a service representative.
The machine 
do
 es not print 
PDF file 
correctly. Some 
graphics, text, 
or illustrations 
are missing. Incompatibility 
b
etween the PDF file 
and the Acrobat 
products. Printing the PDF file as an image 
may ena
ble the file to print. Turn 
on  Print As Image  from the 
Acrobat printing options. 
 It will take longer to print 
when you print a PDF file as 
an image.
ConditionPossible causeSuggested solutions
The print quality 
of photos is not 
good. Images 
are not clear. The resolution of the 
p
hoto is very low.  Reduce the photo size. If you 
increa
se the photo size in the 
software application, the resolution 
will be reduced. 
Before printing, 
t
 he machine 
emits vapor near 
the output tray. Using damp paper 
can
 cause vapor 
during printing. This is not a problem. Just keep 
prin
ting.
The machine 
do
 es not print 
special- sized 
paper, such as 
billing paper. The Paper size and 
p
aper size setting do 
not match. Set the correct paper size in the 
Edit...
 i
n the Paper  tab in the 
Printing Preferences  (See 
Opening printing preferences on 
page  60).
The printed 
b
 illing paper is 
curled. The paper type 
setting
 does not 
match. Change the printer option and try 
again. G
o to Printing 
Preferences , click Paper tab, and 
set type to  Thick (See Opening 
printing preferences on page  60 ).
The printed 
p
 aper is curled. Paper curl occurs 
d
ut to many different 
factors such as 
temperature 
humidity, paper type, 
high coverage 
printing, etc. Use the 
Pape r Curl Reduction  
option. Go to  Printing 
Preferences  (See Opening 
printing preferences on page  60 ), 
click  Adv
anced  tab, and click the 
Paper Curl Reduction  check box. 
This option will optimize 
environmental factors to reduce 
the paper curl level.
ConditionSuggested solutions
Light or faded 
pri
 nt• If a vertical white stre ak 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  75 ). If this 
does not improve the print  qu
 ality, install a new 
toner cartridge.
• The
 paper may not meet  paper specification; for 
example, the paper is too moist or too rough 
(See  Print media specifications on page  92 ).
• If th
e entire page is li ght, the print resolution 
setting is too low. Adjust the print resolution. See 
the help screen of the printer driver.
• A 
combination of faded or smeared defects may 
indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning 
(See  Cleaning the inside on page  72).
• The
 surface of the LSU part inside the machine 
may be dirty. Clean the LSU by opening and 
closing the front cover several times and if the 
problem still occurs call the contact a service 
representative.

Background 
scatter
A
Background scatter result s from bits of toner 
randomly distributed on the printed page. 
• T
he paper may be too damp. Try printing with a 
fresh ream of paper. Do not open packages of 
paper until necessary so that the paper does 
not absorb too much moisture.
• If ba
ckground scatter occurs on an envelope, 
change the printing layout to avoid printing over 
areas that have overlapping seams on the 
reverse side. Printing on seams can cause 
problems.
• If background scatter 
 covers the entire surface 
area of a printed page, adjust the print 
resolution through your software application or

Common Linux problems
Character Voids
A
Character voids are white areas within parts of 
characters that should be solid black:
• If you
 are using transparencies, try another 
type of transparency. Because of the 
composition of transparencies, some character 
voids are normal. 
• You
 may be printing on the wrong surface of 
the paper. Remove the paper and turn it over. 
• T
he paper may not meet  paper specifications 
(See  Print media specifications on page  92 ).
Horizontal stripes
If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears 
appear:
• T
he toner cartridge may be installed 
improperly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert 
it.
• T
he toner cartridge may be defective. Remove 
the toner cartridge and install a new one (See 
Print media specifications on page  92 ).
• If 
the problem persists, the machine may 
require repair. Contact a service 
representative.
Curl
If the printed paper is curled or paper does not feed 
into the machine:
• T
urn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also try 
rotating the paper 180° in the tray. 
• Ch

The machine does 
no
 t print. •
Check if the printer driver is installed in your 
system. Open Unified Driv er Configurator and 
switch to the  Printers tab in Printers 
configuration  window to look at the list of 
available machines. Make sure that your 
machine is displayed on the list. If not, open 
Add new printer wizard  to set up your 
device.
• Ch
eck if the machine is started. Open 
Printers configuration  and select your 
machine on the printers list. Look at the 
description in the  Selected printer pane. If its 
status contains  Stopped string, press the 
Start button. After that normal operation of 
the machine should be restored. The 
“stopped” status might be activated when 
some problems in printing occur. For 
instance, this could be  an attempt to print a 
document when the port is claimed by a 
scanning application.
• En
sure the port is not busy. Since functional 
components of machine (printer and scanner) 
share the same I/O interface (port), the 
situation of simultaneous access of different 
user applications to the same port is possible. 
To avoid possible conflicts, only one of them 
at a time is allowed to gain control over the 
device. The other user will encounter “device 
busy” response. You should open ports 
configuration and select the port assigned to 
your machine. In the  Selected port pane you 
can see if the port is occupied by some other 
application. If this is the case, you should 
either wait for completion of the current job or 
press the  Release port  button, if you are sure 
that the present application is not functioning 
properly.
• Ch
eck if your application has special print 
option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is specified 
in the command line para meter, then remove 
it to print properly. For Gimp front-end, select 
“print” -> “Setup printer” and edit command 
line parameter in the command item.

Gho

space of the document is indexed color space

Because Postscript uses  CIE color space for 
Color Matching System, you should upgrade 
Ghostscript on your system to at least GNU 
Ghostscript version 7.06 or later. You can find 
recent Ghostscript versions at 
www.ghostscript.com.
Some color images

Ghostscript version 7.xx) when
 the base color

Ghostscript, 64-bit Linux OS, and has been 
reported to bugs.ghostscript.com as Ghostscript 
Bug 688252. The problem is solved in AFPL

I encounter the 
“Can

G
UI, for example) while a print job is in progress. 
Known versions of CUPS server break the print 
job whenever print options are changed and 
then try to restart the job from the beginning. 
Since Unified Linux Driver locks the mfp port 
while printing, the abrupt termination of the 
driver keeps the port locked and unavailable for 
subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurs, try 
to release the mfp port by selecting Release 
port  in Port configuration  window.
