  • Page 234 You should contact your sales or service representative. If you can print a configuration page but cannot get the printer to print when you issue a print command from your computer, it probably means there is a problem with your computer.
  • Page 235 • It is possible that paper could meet all of the guidelines listed in the specifications and still not print satisfactorily. This may be due to temperature, humidity or other variables over which the printer has no control. If you cannot clear print problems, consult the dealer where you purchased the printer.
  • Page 236 Due to a sudden change in temperature, condensation might appear inside the machine and reduce the print quality. If this occurs when you move the printer from a cold room to a warmer room, don’t use the printer until it has come up to room temperature.
  • Page 237 Control panel. Specify the desired output tray using the printer driver. See “Setting the Media from the Printer driver” in Chapter 1. When you use some features such as enlargement and reduction, the layout of the image might be different from that shown in the computer display.

  • Page 239 The printed page may have white spots in black text and graphics areas. Make sure that you use paper or Transparencies that meet the printer’s specifications and have the correct printing surface. If toner scatters around printed characters and stains the printed page, clean the printer interior.
  • Page 240 If nothing is printed on pages, make sure that the toner bottle is not empty and that you are using paper, Transparencies, or envelopes that meet the printer’s specifications. If a stack of paper is not fanned, more than one sheet may be loaded at a time, which may cause blank pages to be ejected.
