Print quality difficulties

Difficulties
Printed pages are curled.
Printed pages are smeared.
Printouts are too light.
Suggestions
 If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray.
If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled,

you should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the
stack over and put it back into the paper tray.
 Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again.
 Make sure that manual feed mode is not chosen in the printer driver.
 Clean the paper pick-up roller. See Cleaning the paper pick-up rollers
on page 83.
 If the LCD shows the Paper Jam message and you still have a problem, see
Error and maintenance messages on page 87.
 Make sure that MP tray is chosen in the printer driver.
 Fan the paper well and put it back in the tray firmly.
You can load envelopes in the MP tray. Your application must be set up to print
the envelope size you are using. This is usually done in the Page Setup or
Document Setup menu of your application. (See your application's manual for
more information.)
You can use thin paper, plain paper, thick paper, bond paper, recycled paper,
glossy paper, envelopes and labels that are made for laser machines. (For details,
see Acceptable paper and other print media on page 20.)
Clear the jammed paper. (See Error and maintenance messages on page 87.)
Suggestions
 Low quality thin or thick paper or not printing on the recommended side of the
paper could cause this problem. Try turning over the stack of paper in the
paper tray.
 Make sure that you choose the Paper Type that suits the print media type you
are using. (See Acceptable paper and other print media on page 20.)
The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you are using,
or the print media may be too thick or have a rough surface. (See Acceptable
paper and other print media on page 20 and Basic tab in the Software User's
Guide.)
 If this problem occurs when making copies, set Toner Save mode to Off in
the machine menu settings. (See Toner Save in Chapter 1 of the Advanced
User's Guide)
 Remove the check in the Toner Save Mode check box in the Advanced tab
in the printer driver. (See Advanced tab in the Software User's Guide.)
 In the Basic tab of the printer driver, click the Settings button and check the
Enhance Black Printing check box.
