Image Quality Trouble
Remedy
Clean the document glass and the document
cover.
Refer to "Cleaning Document Cover and
Document Glass" (P.262).
If the document is transparent, dirt on the
document cover will be copied. Place a white
sheet of paper on top of the document when
copying.
Adjust the copy density or image quality.
Refer to "Image Quality" (P.87).
Glossy printing paper easily sticks to the
document glass, and shadows are sometimes
copied, soiling the image. Place a
transparency film under the document when
copying.
Clean the constant velocity transport
document glass.
Refer to "Cleaning Film and Constant
Velocity Transport Glass" (P.263).
Adjust the copy density.
Refer to "Image Quality" (P.87).

tray's top corners, and reload the paper.
