Make sure the media is in good shape and meets all the

Preventative Maintenance," for details on cleaning the
charger unit, various rollers, and plates.

If whole blocks or portions of the page are missing, there
may be a mechanical problem; contact your QMS vendor.
Image is Not Centered on the Page
Make sure you aren't printing outside the printer's
imageable region for the media size you're using (see
"Media Handlin g" in appendix B, "T echn ical
Specifications"). You may need to change to a larger size
media, or adjust the margin(s) through your application.
If images are not printing within the imageable area for the
page size you're using, the printer may be out of alignment.
See "The Status Pages" in chapter 5, "Print Media and
Daily Operations," for information on checking printer
alignment.
