Recommendation
 Make sure Toner Save mode is off in the control panel of the machine
or the printer driver.
 Perform the calibration. (See Calibration on page 110.)
 Adjust the colour by using the custom setting in the printer driver and
by using the control panel of the machine. Colours the machine can
print and colours you see on a monitor are different. The machine
may not be able to reproduce the colours on your monitor.
 If colours appear in the printed grey areas, make sure there is a check
in the Improve Grey Colour check box of the printer driver. (See
Basic tab for Windows
printer driver or Features for Macintosh BR-Script printer driver in the
Software User's Guide.)
 If shaded areas look dull, remove the check from the Improve Grey
Colour check box.
 If a printed black graphic is too light, choose Enhance Black Printing
mode in the printer driver. (See Settings Dialog for Windows
driver, Advanced options for Windows
Settings for Macintosh printer driver or Printer Features for Macintosh
BR-Script printer driver in the Software User's Guide.)
 Identify the colour causing the problem and put in a new toner
cartridge. (See Replacing a Toner cartridge on page 68.)
 Put in a new drum unit. (See Replacing the drum unit on page 75.)
 Put in a new drum unit. (See Replacing the drum unit on page 75.)
 Make sure that the machine is on a solid level surface.
 Perform the auto colour registration using the control panel (see Auto
Registration on page 111) or perform the manual colour registration
using the control panel (see Manual Registration on page 111).
 Put in a new drum unit. (See Replacing the drum unit on page 75.)
 Put in a new belt unit. (See Replacing the belt unit on page 81.)
