This section discusses potential print quality problems, what
causes them, and how to resolve them.
Here are some suggestions for maintaining the highest print
quality from your NEC SuperScript 1400 laser printer.
• Replace the Toner Cartridge as soon as the printer
displays that replacement is necessary.
• Follow the cleaning procedures described on page 63.
• When the print output becomes light, redistribute the
toner. If the light printouts persist, replace the Toner
Cartridge.
• Check to make sure Toner Save is not specified in the
Print Quality tab of the printer driver. For best print
quality, normal toner usage should be selected.
• Try different adjustments on the Print Quality to see
which selections work the best for your particular file.
For example, if your file contains photos, select
Photographic in the Document Type area of the Print
Quality tab.
• Use high-quality paper or transparencies to obtain the
sharp, crisp characters and maximum contrast.
