Print quality problems

Prints have dull, faded colors

Print the test print from the Help Pages in the front panel. If all
colors are faded, the imaging unit may need to be replaced. If one
color is faded, replace the toner cartridge.
Make sure that the imaging unit stays covered until immediately
before installing it in the printer. Exposure to light can damage the
imaging unit and will produce light streaks or faded prints.
Make sure that the toner cartridges are installed correctly.
Make sure that you have loaded the correct media in the correct
tray: Load only paper in the paper tray and load only
transparencies in the transparency tray.
Make sure that you use a high-quality laser paper:
2
75-105 g/m (20-28 lb. ) paper in the media trays and
2
60-120 g/m (16-32 lb. ) paper with manual feed. Refer to "All
about media" on page 3-14 for more information.
Use only Tektronix transparencies that are listed on the supplies
information sheet. Tektronix does not guarantee the results of
non-Tektronix transparencies in Tektronix printers.
