Solution
The print head or motor is too hot.
Print head:
If the print head becomes too hot, it may produce imaging
on the paper in areas not intended to be printed. This
condition is normal when printing a large number of
documents with a high print density. The printer will stop,
and resume printing after the print head has cooled down.
To avoid or delay the onset of this condition:
• Print using a lighter density setting and reduce the
number of black areas being printed (for example,
remove background shading and colors in graphs and
presentation documents).
• Make sure that the printer has adequate ventilation and
is not located in an enclosed space.
Motor:
If the printer is used continuously, the motor will become too
hot. In this case, the printer will stop and resume printing
after the motor has cooled down.
NOTE
This condition may occur more often when the printer is
used at a high altitude (above 3,048 m (10,000 feet)) due to
the lower air density available to cool the printer.
Turn the printer off, and then contact your reseller or Brother
Customer Service.
