Make sure that the machine is on a level surface. Place the
machine where it will not be subject to vibration or shock.
Make sure that the paper being used is supported by the
machine. See page 63 "Supported Paper".
Make sure that the paper type setting of the printer driver
matches the type of paper loaded. See page 61 "Specifying
Paper Type and Paper Size Using the Printer Driver".
Refilled or non-genuine print cartridge reduces print quality
and can cause malfunctions. Use genuine print cartridge only.
Print cartridge should be opened before their expiration date
and used within six months of being opened.
See page 315 "Maintaining the Machine", and clean the
machine as required.
Color degradation may occur in color printing after the
machine is moved or a large number of pages are printed. In
this case, adjust color registration by executing [Color
Registration] in [System Settings].
