Possible Causes, Descriptions, and Solutions
• Paper is damp. Use paper that has been stored properly.
See p.53 "Paper and Other Media".
• Perform the following operation.
1. Press the [Menu] key on the control panel, select
[Maintenance], and then press the [OK] key.
2. Press the [ ] or [ ] key and select [Low Humid. Mode],
and then press the [OK] key.
3. Press the [ ] or [ ] key, and then select [On].
• If the Alert indicator on the control panel lights up and the

cartridge: [Replace Print Cartridge]
See p.93 "Replacing the Print Cartridge".
• Condensation may have collected. If rapid change in
temperature or humidity occurs, use this printer only after it has
acclimatized.
Toner is almost depleted. If an error message appears on the
control panel, replace the print cartridge.
See p.93 "Replacing the Print Cartridge".
• When removing a jammed sheet, the inside of the printer may
have become dirtied. Print several sheets until they come out
clean.
• If document size is larger than paper size, e.g. A4 document
on B5 paper, the back of the next printed sheet may be
dirtied.
The setting of the paper may not be correct. For example, although
thick paper is used, the setting for thick paper may not be set.
• Check the paper settings of this printer.
See p.56 "Types of Paper and Other Media".
• Check the paper settings of the printer driver.
See the printer driver Help.
When the toner runs out, pressing the [Stop/Start] key allows you
to print a few more pages, but the print quality of those pages
cannot be guaranteed.
