Printing Problems When Copying

Cause
The original document is not loaded
correctly.
The print quality setting is not suitable
for the original.
The original document is not loaded
with the side to be copied faced down.
The original document is a printout
from this machine.
The Platen Glass or the inner side of
the Document Cover is dirty.
66 Troubleshooting
In the Operation Panel, set Print quality in the Copy mode or Memory card
mode to High.
Especially when printing a document that requires a lot of ink, increasing the
Print Quality setting in the printer driver settings is effective in reducing uneven
colors.
Check that the original is loaded correctly on the Platen Glass.
See "Loading Original Documents" on page 4.
Set the image quality to suit the type of your document.
See "Copy Mode" on page 18.
When loading the original on the Platen Glass, the side to be copied should be
faced down.
Print quality may be reduced if you copy a printout.
Instead of copying a printout, print the original directly either from the digital
camera, memory card, or your computer.
Clean the Platen Glass and the inner side of the Document Cover.
See "Cleaning the Platen Glass and Document Cover" on page 52.
