What to do
If the toner status in the EPSON Status Monitor 3 utility
indicates that the amount of toner is low, see "Developer
Cartridge" on page 69 for information on replacing the
developer cartridge.
Check that the developer cartridge is installed as
described under "Developer Cartridge" on page 69.
Print out a status sheet through the printer driver. If
blank pages continue to appear, the problem may be
with the printer. Turn off the printer and contact your
dealer.
What to do
The higher the moisture content in the paper, the lighter
the printed output. Do not store paper in a humid or
damp environment.
If the surface of your paper is too rough, printed
characters may appear distorted or broken. Smooth,
high-quality copier paper is recommended for best
results. See "Available paper types" on page 110 for
information on choosing paper.
Turn off the Toner Save mode using the printer driver.
Darken the Density setting in the printer driver.
Take out the developer cartridge, shake it gently from
side to side to distribute the toner, and then reinstall it. If
the problem persists, replace the cartridge as described
under "Developer Cartridge" on page 69.
