When removing a jammed sheet, the inside of the printer may
have become dirtied. Print several sheets until they come out
clean.
If document size is larger than paper size, e.g. A4 document on
B5 paper, the back of the next printed sheet may be dirtied.
Paper settings may not be correct. For example, although thick
paper is used, the setting for thick paper may not be made.
• Check the printer's paper settings.
See p.59 "Paper Recommendations".
• Check the printer driver's paper settings.
See the printer driver Help.
The fusing unit is deteriorated or damaged. Replace the unit. Con-
