Print Quality

The printer uses separate cartridges of cyan, magenta,
yellow and black toner to generate high definition
color images. Factors causing print quality problems
may affect only one color, or several colors, so the
results may be unpredictable.
For general information on using color, see
the online Color Guide.
See the online User's Guide for additional
print quality symptoms and solutions.
Colors do not print as expected.
Reason:
A computer monitor and a printer use different
methods to generate colors based on a different set of
primaries —Red, Green and Blue (RGB) for moni-
tors, Cyan, Magenta, yellow and Black (CMYK) for
printers. This may lead to a color print not resem-
bling the original on-screen image.
Solution:
The Color Options tab (within the printer driver)
provides a list of color matching techniques and
adjustments to provide color balance in your docu-
ment.
You can use the color bars at the bottom of the Menu
Page to help isolate which color is causing the prob-
lem. To generate a Menu Page, press and hold the
FORM FEED/Print Demo button for several seconds.
The Menu page prints.
Colors are shifted or not lined up properly.
Reason:
Color registration is incorrect.
Solution:
Color registration needs to be reset. See "Color
Registration." It is recommended that you reset color
registration when you change toner or image drums,
when you load paper in the paper tray, or if you
move the printer.
