TROUBLESHOOTING Poor Printing Dirty Background When you use paper smaller than the original, select the proper reduction ratio. Otherwise, you might get dirty background prints. When you use postcards and the like, the background might be dirty because postcards do not absorb ink well. You might get prints with dirty background when printing at high speed and un- der high temperature.

Page 215 TROUBLESHOOTING Black line/stain If there is no margin or if there is a solid image area near the leading edge of the original, make a margin of at least 5 mm, 0.2" at the leading edge. Otherwise, the paper exit pawl might become dirty and cause black lines on prints. Check the following parts and clean them if they are dirty.
Page 216 TROUBLESHOOTING White prints or incomplete prints Check the paper size detection sensor and clean it if dirty. Make sure that the paper feed side plates contact the paper lightly.

Page 217 TROUBLESHOOTING When you get white or incomplete prints even if you check the items on the previous page, perform the following procedure. Pull out the drum unit. Refer to page 109 for the details. Remove the master from the drum. Remove paper that is stuck to the drum.
Page 218: Operation Notes
OPERATION NOTES OPERATION NOTES General Cautions Make sure to make a few trial prints to check the image position because the image position of the trial print might not correspond with that of the original. If the image registration is not consistent, slow the printing speed down to Setting 1 or 2.
Page 219 OPERATION NOTES If you cannot pull out the drum, press the drum rotation button until it becomes green. The leading edge of the prints might become stained if the edge touches the image of prints on the paper delivery table. The ink of the print on the paper delivery table might stick to the back side of the next print.
Page 220: Print Paper
OPERATION NOTES When you use originals with light lettering, edges of the letters may be printed clearly and the inside of the letters may be light. In this case, increase the image density. When you use originals of fine letters, letters on prints may be skipped. In this case, increase the image density or use Line mode.
Page 221: Originals
OPERATION NOTES Originals If there is no margin or if there is a solid image area near the leading edge of the original, make at least a 5 mm, 0.2", margin at the leading edge; otherwise, the paper might wrap around the drum or the paper exit pawl might become dirty and cause black lines on prints.
