Other Printing Problems

This section describes likely causes of and possible solutions for problems that
can occur when printing from a computer.
Problem
The printed image is
smudged.
The printed image is
faded over the entire
page.
Paper is not fed from
the selected tray.
The printed image is
different from the im-
age on the computer's
display.
The printed image is
different from the im-
age on the computer's
display.
When printing
graphics, the output
and the screen are
different.
Images are printed in
the wrong orientation.
Cause
Settings for thick pa-
per have not been
made when printing
on thick paper in the
bypass tray.
If the [Toner saving]
check box is selected
in the printer driver
settings, the entire
page will be faded
when printed.
When you are using a
Windows operating
system, printer driver
settings override
those set using the
display panel.
With certain func-
tions, such as en-
largement and
reduction, image lay-
out might be different
to that on the com-
puter display.
You might have se-
lected to replace Tru-
eType fonts with
machine fonts in the
printing process.
If the printer driver is
configured to use the
graphics command,
the graphics com-
mand from the ma-
chine is used to print.
The feed orientation
you selected and the
feed orientation se-
lected in the printer
driver's option setup
might not be the
same.
Solution
• PCL 6/5e and PostScript 3
Select [Thick] in the [Type:] list on the [Paper]
tab.
• RPCS
Select [Thick] in the [Paper type:] list on the
[Print Settings] tab.
For the RPCS printer driver, [Toner saving] is lo-
cated on the [Print Quality] tab. For the PostScript
3 printer driver, see PostScript 3 Supplement.
See the printer driver Help.
Set the desired input tray using the printer
driver. See the printer driver Help.
In the application, change the layout, character
size, and character settings.
To print an image similar to that of the comput-
er display, make settings to print TrueType
fonts as an image. See the printer driver Help.
If you want to print accurately, set the printer
driver to print without using the graphics com-
mand. See the printer driver Help.
Set the machine's feed orientation and the
printer driver's feed orientation accordingly.
See the printer driver Help.
