Status

Some parts of the print image
are not clear.
The print image is not clear.
Nothing is printed on the paper. Check if the tape of the toner cartridge is completely removed.
Multiple pages are fed through
the printer at once.
The image is printed on the re-
verse side of the paper.
Possible Causes, Descriptions, and Solutions
Adjust the image density.
See P.99 "Making Printer Settings with the Operation Panel".
If paper is curled, correct it.
Check if the size selected with the paper tray dial matches that
selected with the operation panel. If not, select the correct size
that matches the size and feed direction loaded in the tray.
If you print something after printing on the paper whose size
is smaller than the actual document size, the back of the next
output might get dirty.
See P.38 "Loading Paper and Other Media".
If you continuously print data that contains extremely small
amount of words or images in the printable area, the printed
side of the page could be a hazy gray. Adjust the image densi-
ty. See P.99 "Making Printer Settings with the Operation Panel".
Switch to Thick Paper mode.
• When toner is not fused enough, set it to "On".
• When the image is blurred, set it to "----".
See P.99 "Making Printer Settings with the Operation Panel".
Make the image density darker.
See P.99 "Making Printer Settings with the Operation Panel".
If Toner Saving mode is selected using the operation panel,
the whole image gets lighter.
Due to a sudden change in temperature, condensation might
appear inside the printer, reducing print quality. If this oc-
curs, when you move the printer from a cold room to a
warmer room, do not use the printer until it acclimatizes to
the temperature.
Be sure to remove the tape completely when replacing the ton-
er cartridge. See P.88 "Replacing the Toner Cartridge".
Note
❒ If the power switch is turned on with the tape still at-
tached to the toner cartridge, the printer might be dam-
aged.
Clean the friction pad if it is dirty. See P.91 "Cleaning the Fric-
tion Pad".
Remove all paper from the tray and fan it gently to get air be-
tween the sheets. After that, load it back into the tray.
Set the paper the other way up.
