ConditionPossible causeSuggested solutionsPrinting 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. 
ConditionSuggested solutions
Light or faded 
print
If a vertical white streak or faded area appears 
on the page:
• The toner supply is low. You may be able to 
temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. 
See page 13.4. If this does not improve the 
print quality, install a new toner cartridge.
• The paper may not meet paper  specifications; for example, the paper is too 
moist or too rough. See page 5.2.
• If the entire page is light, 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.
• The surface of the LSU part inside the  machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See 
page 13.2.
Toner specks• The paper may not meet specifications; for example, the paper is too moist or too 
rough. See page 5.2.
• The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the  inside of your machine. See page 13.2.
• The paper path may need cleaning. See 
page 13.2.
Dropouts
If faded areas, generally rounded, occur 
randomly on the page:
• A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the job.
• The moisture content of the paper is uneven  or the paper has moist spots on its surface. 
Try a different brand of paper. See page 5.2.
• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing  processes can cause some areas to reject 
toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.
• Change the printer option and try again. Go  to printer properties, click  Paper tab, and 
set type to  Thick. Refer to the  Software 
Section  for details.
• If these steps do not correct the problem,  contact a service representative.

Vertical linesIf black vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The drum inside the toner cartridge has 
probably been scratched. Remove the toner 
cartridge and install a new one. See page 
13.5.
If white vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The surface of the LSU part inside the  machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See 
page 13.2.
Color or Black 
backgroundIf the amount of background shading becomes 
unacceptable:
• Change to a lighter weight paper. See page 5.2.
• Check the machine’s environment: very dry  (low humidity) or high humidity (higher than 
80% RH) conditions can increase the 
amount of background shading.
• Remove the old toner cartridge and install a  new one. See page 13.5.
Toner smear• Clean the inside of the machine. See page 13.2.
• Check the paper type and quality. See page  5.2.
• Remove the toner cartridge and install a  new one. See page 13.5.
Vertical repetitive 
defects
If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side 
of the page at even intervals:
• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If a repetitive mark occurs on the page, print a 
cleaning sheet several times to clean the 
cartridge; see page 13.4. After the printout, 
if you still have the same problems, remove 
the toner cartridge and install a new one. 
See page 13.5.
• Parts of the machine may have toner on 
them. If the defects occur on the back of the 
page, the problem will likely correct itself 
after a few more pages.
• The fusing assembly may be damaged.  Contact a service representative.

Background 
scatter
Background scatter results from bits of toner 
randomly distributed on the printed page. 
• The paper may be too damp. Try printing  with a different batch of paper. Do not open 
packages of paper until necessary so that 
the paper does not absorb too much 
moisture.
• If background 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 the printer properties.
Misformed 
characters• If characters are improperly formed and 
producing hollow images, the paper stock 
may be too slick. Try a different paper. See 
page 5.2.
• If characters are improperly formed and  producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit 
may need service. For service, contact a 
service representative.
Page skew• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
• Check the paper type and quality. See page 
5.2.
• Ensure that the paper or other material is  loaded correctly and the guides are not too 
tight or too loose against the paper stack.
Curl or wave• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
• Check the paper type and quality. Both high 
temperature and humidity can cause paper 
curl. See page 5.2.
• Turn over the stack of paper in the tray. Also  try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.

Scanning problems
Image rubs off the 
copy easily. • Replace the paper in the tray with paper 
from a new package.
• In high humidity areas, do not leave paper  in the machine for extended periods of 
time.
Frequent copy 
paper jams occur. • Fan the stack of paper, then turn it over in 
the tray. Replace the paper in the tray with 
a fresh supply. Check/adjust the paper 
guides, if necessary.
• Ensure that the paper is the proper paper  weight. 75 g/m
2 (20 lb bond) paper is 
recommended.
• Check for copy paper or pieces of copy  paper remaining in the machine after a 
paper jam has been cleared.
Toner cartridge 
produces fewer 
copies than 
expected before 
running out of 
toner. • Your originals may contain pictures, solids, 
or heavy lines. For example, your originals 
may be forms, newsletters, books, or other 
documents that use more toner. 
• The machine may be turned on and off  frequently. 
• The scanner lid may be left open while 
copies are being made.
ConditionSuggested solutions
The scanner does 
not work. • Make sure that you place the original to be 
scanned face down on the scanner glass, or 
face up in the ADF.
• There may not be enough available memory 
to hold the document you want to scan. Try 
the Prescan function to see if that works. Try 
lowering the scan resolution rate.
• Check that the USB cable is connected  properly.
• Make sure that the USB cable is not 
defective. Switch the cable with a known 
good cable. If necessary, replace the cable.
• Check that the scanner is configured 
correctly. Check scan setting in the 
SmarThru Configuration or the application 
you want to use to make certain that the 
scanner job is being sent to the correct port.
ConditionSuggested solutions
The unit scans 
very slowly. • Check if the machine is printing received 
data. If so, scan the document after the

Common Linux problems
ConditionSuggested solutions
The machine does not 
print. • Check if the printer driver is installed in 
your system. Open Unified Driver 
configurator and switch to the Printers 
tab in Printers configuration window to 
look at the list of available printers. 
Make sure that your machine is 
displayed on the list. If not, please, 
invoke Add new printer wizard to set up 
your device.
• Check if the printer 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, 
please, press the  Start button. After that 
normal operation of the printer should 
be restored. The “stopped” status might 
be activated when some problems in 
printing occurred. For instance, this 
could be an attempt to print document 
when port is claimed by a scanning 
application.
• Check if the port is not busy. Since  functional components of MFP (printer 
and scanner) share the same I/O 
interface (port), the situation of 
simultaneous access of different 
“consumer” application 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 
“consumer” will encounter “device busy” 
response. You should open ports 
configuration and select the port 
assigned to your printer. In the Selected 
port pane you can see if the port is 
occupied by some other application. If 
this is the case, you should wait for 
completion of the current job or should 
press Release port button, if you are 
sure that the present owner is not 
functioning properly.
• Check if your application has special  print option such as “-oraw”. If “-oraw” is 
specified in the command line 
parameter then remove it to print 
properly. For Gimp front-end, select 
“print” -> “Setup printer” and edit 
command line parameter in the 
command item.

come out all black. This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until 
GNU Ghostscript version 7.05) when the 
base color space of the document is 
indexed color space and it is converted 
through CIE 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 
come out in 
unexpected color. This is a known bug in Ghostscript (until 
GNU Ghostscript version 7.xx) when the 
base color space of the document is 
indexed RGB color space and it is 
converted through CIE 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 8.xx or 
later. You can find recent Ghostscript 
versions at www.ghostscript.com.
The machine does not 
print whole pages and 
its output is half page 
printed. It is a known problem that occurs when a 
color printer is used on version 8.51 or 
earlier of Ghostscript, 64-bit Linux OS, 
and reported to bugs.ghostscript.com as 
Ghostscript Bug 688252.
The problem is solved in AFPL 
Ghostscript v. 8.52 or above. Download 
the latest version of AFPL Ghostscript 
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/
ghostscript/ and install it to solve this 
problem.

The machine does not 
appear on the 
scanners list.• Check if your machine is attached to 
your computer. Make sure that it is 
connected properly via the USB port 
and is turned on.
• Check if the scanner driver for your 
machine is installed in your system. 
Open Unified Driver configurator, switch 
to Scanners configuration, then press 
Drivers . Make sure that driver with a 
name corresponding to your machines 
name is listed in the window. Check if 
the port is not busy. Since functional 
components of MFP (printer and 
scanner) share the same I/O interface 
(port), the situation of simultaneous 
access of different “consumer” 
application 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 “consumer” 
will encounter “device busy” response. 
This can usually happen while starting 
scan procedure, and appropriate 
message box appears.
• To identify the source of the problem,  you should open ports configuration and 
select the port assigned to your 
scanner. ports symbol /dev/mfp0 
corresponds to LP:0 designation 
displayed in the scanners’ options, /dev/
mfp1 relates to LP:1 and so on. USB 
ports start at /dev/mfp4, so scanner on 
USB:0 relates to /dev/mfp4 respectively 
and so forth sequentially. In the 
Selected port pane you can see if the 
port is occupied by some other 
application. If this is the case, you 
should wait for completion of the current 
job or should press Release port button, 
if you are sure that the present ports 
owner is not functioning properly.

I cannot scan via Gimp 
Front-end. • Check if Gimp Front-end has 
“Xsane: Device dialog.” on the “Acquire” 
menu. If not, you should install Xsane 
plug-in for Gimp on the your computer. 
You can find Xsane plug-in package for 
Gimp on Linux distribution CD or Gimp 
home page. For the detail information, 
refer to the Help for Linux distribution 
CD or Gimp Front-end application. 
If you wish to use other kind of scan 
application, refer to the Help for 
application.

Common Macintosh problems
I encounter error 
“Cannot open port 
device file” when 
printing a document. Please avoid changing print job 
parameters (via LPR GUI, 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 port while printing, the abrupt 
termination of the driver keeps the port 
locked and therefore unavailable for 
subsequent print jobs. If this situation 
occurred, please, try to release the port. 
The printer does not 
print PDF file correctly. 
Some parts of 
graphics, text, or 
illustrations are 
missing. Incompatibility between the PDF file and 
the Acrobat products:
Printing the PDF file as an image may 
solve this problem. Turn on 
Print As 
Image  from the Acrobat printing options.

OTE: It will take longer to print when you 
print a PDF file as an image.

The document has 
printed, but the print job 
has not disappeared from 
the spooler in Mac OS 
10.3.2. Update your Mac OS to OS 10.3.3. or 
higher.
Some letters are not 
displayed normally 
during the Cover page 
printing. This problem is caused because Mac 
OS can not create the font during the 
Cover page printing. English alphabet 
and numbers are displayed normally at 
the Cover page.
