Copy Quality Is Poor

Check the following if uneven colors, smears, dots, or straight lines appear in the copied image.
❏ Clean the paper path.
❏ Clean the scanner glass.
❏ Do not press too hard on the original or the document cover when you are placing the originals on the scanner
glass. Uneven colors, smears, or dots may appear when the original or the document cover is pressed too hard.
❏ If a moiré (cross-hatch) pattern appears, change the reduce and enlarge setting or place the original at a slightly
different angle.
❏ When the paper is smeared, lower the copy density setting.

The Position, Size, or Margins of the Printout Are Incorrect

❏ Load paper in the correct direction, and slide the edge guides against the edges of the paper.
❏ When placing the originals on the scanner glass, align the corner of the original with the corner indicated by a
symbol on the frame of the scanner glass. If the edges of the copy are cropped off, move the original slightly
away from the corner.
❏ Clean the scanner glass and the document cover. If there is dust or stains on the glass, the copy area may extend
to include the dust or stains, resulting in the wrong printing position or small images.
❏ Select the appropriate paper size setting on the control panel or in the printer driver.
