Print quality is poor.

Point to check
Are you using paper that is not within
the specifications?
Are you printing on pre-punched paper?
Is the laser unit, the main charger, or the
PT charger dirty?
Does a message appear indicating the
need for maintenance?
Are you using paper that is not within
the specifications?
Did you set the correct paper type?
Is the paper loaded so that printing
takes place on the reverse side?
Is "Toner Save Mode" enabled?
Use SHARP-recommended paper. Using paper that is
for other models or special paper that is not supported
may result in misfeeds, creases, or smudges.
Please use SHARP-recommended paper and label
sheets. For details, contact your dealer or nearest
authorised service representative.
If the printed image overlaps the punch holes, smudges may
appear on the reverse side of the paper following one-sided
printing, or on both sides following two-sided printing. Take
care that the image does not overlap the punch holes.
If these units are dirty, smudges appear upon print
results. Clean these units periodically.

Set the correct paper type in the tray settings. Make
sure that the following has not occurred:
• Heavy paper is being used, but a paper type other
than heavy paper is selected in the tray settings. (The
image may disappear if rubbed.)
• Paper other than heavy paper is being used, but
heavy paper is selected in the tray settings. (This may
cause creases and misfeeds.)
➞ System Settings > "Paper Tray Settings" > "Tray
Settings"
If printing takes place on the wrong side of label sheets
or transparency film, the toner may not adhere well and
a clear image may not be obtained.
When "Toner Save Mode" is enabled, printing takes
place using less toner and thus the print result is lighter.
