Solution
Your paper may be moist or damp.
Printing is sensitive to moisture absorbed
by the paper. The higher the moisture
content in the paper, the lighter the
printed output. Do not store your paper in
a humid or damp environment.
You may not be using the correct type of
paper for your printer. If the surface of
your paper is too rough, printed characters
appear distorted or broken. Smooth, high-
quality copier paper is recommended for
best results. See Chapter 4 for information
on choosing paper.
The transfer charger wire may be dirty.
Clean the wire as described in Chapter
If the TONER LOW warning appears on
the display, replace the imaging cartridge
as described in Chapter
The problem may be with your software
program or interface cable. Run a test print
or print out a status sheet. If blank pages
continue to print, the problem may be
with the printer.
If the test print does not print properly,
the transfer charger wire may be broken.
Turn off the printer and gently check the
transfer charger wire. If the wire is broken,
contact a qualified service person.
