_____________________________________ Troubleshooting 10-25
• Reboot the printer and your host. Try selecting the
Accel-a-Writer 812 from the Chooser again.
• Clean the printer. See "Cleaning the Printer" in
chapter 8 for details.
• Remove the toner cartridge and redistribute the
toner. See "Redistributing Toner" in chapter 6 for
details.
• Use laser quality media and make sure it meets all
the requirements in the "Media Handling" section of
chapter 6.
• Install a new toner cartridge. See "Handling and
Replacing the Toner Cartridge" in chapter 6 for
details.
• Check the original image to see if it is dark. If not,
rescan the image and try to print it again.
• Try increasing the gamma corrections setting on
your printer. Even if the original image which you
scanned is too dark, the gamma feature on your
printer allows you to adjust midrange grayscale
values without altering the black shadow or white
highlight values. This can bring out details in the
midranges. See "Making Gamma Corrections" in
chapter 6 for details.
