Troubleshooting
Caution
The Xerox Warranty, Service Agreement, or Xerox Total Satisfaction Guarantee does
not cover damage caused by using unsupported paper or specialty media. The Xerox
Total Satisfaction Guarantee is available in the United States and Canada. Coverage
could vary outside these areas. Contact your local Xerox representative for details.
Note
• To ensure consistent print quality, the toner, print, and drum cartridges for many
devices are designed to cease functioning at a predetermined point.
• Grayscale images printed with the composite black setting increment the color pages
counter, because color consumables are used. Composite black is the default setting
on most printers.

Controlling Print-Quality

Various factors can affect the quality of the output of your printer. For consistent and
optimum print quality, use paper designed for your printer, and correctly set the
Print-Quality Mode and Color Adjustments. Follow the guidelines in this section to
maintain optimum print quality from your printer.
Temperature and humidity affect the quality of the printed output. The range for optimal
print quality is 15–28ºC (59–82ºF) and 20–70% relative humidity. However, print quality
can be affected when operating near the limits for both temperature and humidity.

in this section for the best print quality and to avoid jams:
• Use only Xerox approved paper. For details, refer to
