Printing quality problems
If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, 
there might be a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear the 
problem. 
The print quality 
of photos is not 
good. Images are 
not clear. The resolution of 
th
e photo is very 
low. Reduce the photo size. If 
you increase the photo size 
in the software application, 
the resolution will be 
reduced. 
Before printing, 
the machine 
emits vapor near 
the output tray. Using damp paper 
can cause vap
or 
during printing.This is not a problem. Just 
keep printing.
The machine 
does not print 
special- sized 
paper, such as 
billing paper. Paper size and 
pap
er size setting 
do not match. Set the correct paper size in 
th
e Paper  tab in the 
Printing Preferences  (See 
Opening printing 
preferences on page  2 ).
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 Redistributing toner 
on page  1 ). If this does not improve the print 
quality, install a new toner cartridge.
• T
he paper may not meet paper specifications; 
for example, the paper may be too moist or 
rough (See  Print media specifications on 
page  3 ).
• If the entire pa
 ge is light, the print resolution 
setting is too low or the toner save mode is 
on. Adjust the print resolution and turn the 
toner save mode off. See the help screen of 
the printer driver.
• A combina
 tion of faded or smeared defects 
may indicate that the toner cartridge needs 
cleaning (See  Cleaning the inside on 
page  2 ).
• T
he surface of the LSU part inside the 
machine may be dirty (See  Cleaning the 
inside on page  2 ).
Toner specks
• The paper may not meet  specifications; for 
example, the paper may be too moist or rough 
(See  Print media specifications on page  3 ).
• T
he transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the 
inside of your machine. Contact a service 
representative.
• T
he paper path may need cleaning. Contact a 
service representative.
ConditionPossible causeSuggested solutions
DropoutsIf faded areas, generally rounded, occur 
randomly on the page:
•A singl
e sheet of paper may be defective. 
Try reprinting the job.
• T
he moisture content of the paper is uneven 
or the paper has moist spots on its surface. 
Try a different brand of paper (See  Print 
media specifications on page  3 ).
• T
he paper lot is bad. The manufacturing 
processes can cause some areas to reject 
toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.
• Ch
ange the printer option and try again. Go 
to Printing Preferences , click Paper tab, 
and set type to  Thick (See Opening printing 
preferences on page  2 ).
• If these steps do no
 t correct the problem, 
contact a service representative.
White Spots 
If white spots appear on the page:
• T
he paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from a 
paper falls to the inner devices within the 
machine, so the transfer roller may be dirty. 
Clean the inside of your machine (See 
Cleaning the inside on page  2 ).
• T
he paper path may need cleaning (See 
Cleaning the inside on page  2 ).
Vertical lines
If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The surface (drum 
 part) of the toner 
cartridge inside the machine has probably 
been scratched. Remove  the toner cartridge 
and install a new one (See  Replacing the 
toner cartridge on page  2).
If white vertical streaks appear on the page:
• T
he surface of the LSU part inside the 
machine may be dirty (See  Cleaning the 
inside on page  2 ).
If vertical streaks appear on the page:
• T
he surface of the scanner glass and its 
white sheet may be dirty. Clean these unit 
(See  Cleaning the scan unit on page  3 ).
Color or Black 
bac
 kgroundIf the amount of background shading becomes 
unacceptable:
•Ch
ange to a lighter weight paper (See  Print 
media specifications on page  3 ).
• Ch
eck the environmental conditions: very 
dry conditions or a high level of humidity 
(higher than 80% RH) can increase the 
amount of background shading.
• Re
move the old toner cartridge and, install a 
new one (See  Replacing the toner 
cartridge on page  2). If this problem 
persists, contact a service representative.

media specifications on page  3 ).
• R
emove the toner cartridge and then, install 
a new one (See  Replacing the toner 
cartridge on page  2 ).
Vertical repetitive 
de
 fectsIf marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of 
the page at even intervals:
• T
he toner cartridge may be damaged. If you 
still have the same problem, remove the 
toner cartridge and, install a new one (See 
Replacing the toner cartridge on page  2 ).
• Pa
rts 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.
• T
he fusing assembly may be damaged. 
Contact a service representative.
Background 
sca
 tter
A
Background scatter results 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 
reams 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 b
ackground scatter  covers the entire 
surface area of a printed page, adjust the 
print resolution thro ugh your software 
application or in  Printing Preferences (See 
Opening printing preferences on page  2 ).
Misformed 
ch
 aracters• If characters are improperly formed and 
producing hollow images, the paper stock 
may be too slick. Try different paper (See 
Print media specifications on page  3 ).
