Print Image Quality Problems

Print Image Quality Problems
When functioning correctly, the printer should produce printed paper that is relatively flat and
undamaged, containing a fused image of correct intensity—without streaks, smears, spots, or
missing areas. If the printed sheets that your printer produces do not meet these qualifications,
there is a print image quality problem.
Minor Print Image Quality Problems can be caused by exhausted or damaged consum-
ables, such as the print cartridge. These problems area easily corrected by simply replac-
ing the consumable.
