• Make sure that you have the correct paper type selected in the print driver and in the control
panel of the printer.
Isolating the Problem to the Printer or to the Application
When you are sure that the paper is supported and in good condition, use the following steps to
isolate the problem:
1. From the control panel of the printer, print the pages for Diagnosing Print Quality. For details, see
Printing the Troubleshooting Print-Quality
• If the pages printed properly, the printer is working properly and the print-quality problem is
an application, print driver, or print server problem.
• If the pages still have print-quality problems, the problem is in the printer.
2. If the pages printed properly, see
Driver, or Print Server.
3. If the pages still had print-quality issues, or did not print, see
Problems in the Printer
Troubleshooting Print-Quality Problems in the Application, Print Driver, or Print Server
If the printer is printing properly from the control panel but you still have print-quality problems, the
application, print driver, or print server could be the cause.
To isolate the problem:
1. Print a similar document from another application and look for the same print-quality problems.
2. If the document has the same print-quality problem, it is probably a print driver or print server
problem. Check the print driver used for the print job.
