What to do If Something Goes Wrong

Black Lines/Stained Prints

Check the platen cover and clean it if dirty. See ⇒ P.200 "Cleaning the platen cov-
er".
Check the exposure glass (contact glass) and clean it if dirty. See ⇒ P.200 "Clean-
ing the exposure glass (contact glass)".
Check the sheet of the optional document feeder and clean it if dirty. See ⇒ P.201
"Cleaning the Sheet".
Note
When black lines or stains still appear on prints even if you clean the above,
please contact your service representative.

Faint Prints

If the machine is not used for a long period of time or you change the color drum
5
unit, the ink on the drum might dry causing print quality to deteriorate. To solve
this problem, use Quality Start Mode. See ⇒ P.75 "Quality Start Mode— Regain-
ing Image DensityWhen Drum Ink Dries".
If the print density is still too light even if you use Quality Start mode, remake
the master.
