When You Cannot Make Clear Copies

Problem
The printed copy is blank.
The wrong original was copied.
Copied pages do not look the same
as the originals.
Black spots appear when
photocopying a photographic print.
A moire pattern is produced.
The printed copy is dirty.
The original is not placed correctly.
When using the exposure glass, place originals copy side
down. When using the ADF, place them copy side up. See
page 73 "Placing Originals".
If copying from the exposure glass, make sure that there are
no originals in the ADF.
Select the correct scan mode according to the type of original.
See page 92 "Specifying the Scan Settings".
The original may have stuck to the exposure glass due to high
humidity.
Place the original on the exposure glass, and then place two
or three sheets of white paper on top of it. Leave the ADF open
when copying.
The original probably has heavily lined or dotted areas.
Switching the setting for image quality between [Photo] and
[Mixed] may eliminate the moire pattern.
See page 92 "Specifying the Scan Settings".
• Image density is too high.
Adjust the image density. See page 92 "Specifying the
Scan Settings".
• Toner on the printed surface is not dry.
Do not touch printed surfaces immediately after copying.
Remove freshly printed sheets one by one, taking care
not to touch printed areas.
• The exposure glass or ADF is dirty. See page 189
"Maintaining the Machine".
• Before placing originals on the exposure glass, make
sure that toner or correction fluid is dry.
