Print Results Not Satisfactory When Copying

Cause

correctly.
The original document is not loaded
with the side to be copied faced down.
The original document is a printout
from this machine.
The Platen Glass or the inner side of
the Document Cover is dirty.

52 Troubleshooting
If you are printing beyond the recommended printing area of your printing paper,
the lower edge of the paper may become stained with ink.
Resize your original document in your application software.
For details on recommended printing area, refer to "Printing Area" in the User's
Guide on-screen manual.
Clean the Paper Feed Roller. Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller will wear the
roller, so perform this procedure only when necessary.
For details on cleaning, see "Cleaning the Paper Feed Roller (Roller Cleaning)"
on page 41.
When performing duplex printing, if the specified page size does not match the
actual size of paper loaded in the Rear Tray, the inside will become stained with
ink, causing printed paper to become smudged.
Perform the Bottom Plate Cleaning to clean the inside of the machine.
For details on cleaning, see "Cleaning the Inside of the Machine (Bottom Plate
Cleaning)" on page 41.
Note
To prevent the inside of the machine from getting stained, set the page size
correctly.
Especially if you are using plain paper to print images with high intensity, the
paper may absorb too much ink and become wavy, causing paper abrasion.
When printing from your computer, refer to "Print Results Not Satisfactory" in the
User's Guide on-screen manual.
See "When Printing Becomes Faint or Colors Are Incorrect" on page 26 and
perform any necessary maintenance operations.
See "Aligning the Print Head" on page 31 to perform Print Head Alignment using
the Operation Panel.
Check that the original is loaded correctly on the Platen Glass.
See "Loading Original Documents" on page 11.
When loading the original on the Platen Glass, the side to be copied should be
faced down.
Print quality may be reduced if you copy a printout.
Instead of copying a printout, print the original directly from your computer.
Clean the Platen Glass and the inner side of the Document Cover.
See "Cleaning the Platen Glass and Document Cover" on page 40.
