If faded areas, generally rounded, occur randomly on the page:

• A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the job.

• The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has moist spots on its surface. Try a different brand of paper.

• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.

• Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences , click the Paper tab, and set type to Thick (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 46).

If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.

If white spots appear on the page:

• The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from paper falls to the inner components within the machine, so the transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 71).

• The paper path may need cleaning. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 71).

If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.



Condition

Vertical lines

Black or color background

Toner smear


If black vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The surface (drum part) of the cartridge inside the machine has probably been scratched. Remove the cartridge and install a new one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 63).

If white vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page

71). If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.

If the amount of background shading becomes unacceptable:

• Change to a lighter weight paper.

• Check the environmental conditions: very dry conditions or a high level of humidity (higher than 80% RH) can increase the amount of background shading.

• Remove the old toner cartridge and install a new one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 63).

• Thoroughly redistribute the toner (see "Redistributing toner" on page 62).

• Clean the inside of the machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 71).

• Check the paper type and quality.

• Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 63).



Condition

Vertical repetitive defects


If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals:

• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If you still have the same problem, remove the toner cartridge and, install a new one (see

"Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 63).

• Parts of the machine may have toner on them. If the defects occur on the back of the page, the problem will likely correct itself after a few more pages.

• The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a service representative.

Background scatter

A

Background scatter results from bits of toner randomly distributed on the printed page.

• The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture.

• If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems.

Or select Thick from the Printing Preferences window (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 46).

• If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or in Printing Preferences (see "Opening printing preferences" on page 46). Ensure the correct paper type is selected. For example:

If Thicker Paper is selected, but Plain Paper actually used, an overcharging can occur causing this copy quality problem.

• If you are using a new toner cartridge, redistribute the toner first (see "Redistributing toner" on page 62).

Toner particles are around bold characters or pictures

The toner might not adhere properly to this type of paper.

• Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences , click the Paper tab, and set the paper type to Recycled (see


• Ensure the correct paper type is selected. For example: If Thicker Paper is selected, but Plain Paper actually used, an overcharging can occur causing this copy quality problem.



Condition

Misformed characters


• If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try different paper.

Page skew

Curl or wave

• Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.


• Ensure that the guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack.


• Check the paper type and quality. Both high temperature and humidity can cause paper curl.

• Turn the stack of paper over in the tray. Also try rotating the paper 180° in the tray.



Condition

Wrinkles or creases





Back of printouts are dirty • Check for leaking toner. Clean the inside of the machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 71).

Solid color or black pages

A

• The toner cartridge may not be installed properly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert it.

• The toner cartridge may be defective. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 63).

• The machine may require repairing. Contact a service representative.



Condition

Loose toner


• Clean the inside of the machine (see "Cleaning the machine" on page 71).

• Check the paper type, thickness, and quality.

• Remove the toner cartridge and then, install a new one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 63).

If the problem persists, the machine may require repair. Contact a service representative.

Character voids

A

Horizontal stripes

Character voids are white areas within parts of characters that should be solid black:

• You may be printing on the wrong surface of the paper. Remove the paper and turn it around.

• The paper may not meet paper specifications.

If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears appear:

• The toner cartridge may be installed improperly. Remove the cartridge and reinsert it.

• The toner cartridge may be defective. Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one (see "Replacing the toner cartridge" on page 63).

If the problem persists, the machine may require repairing. Contact a service representative.



Condition

Curl


If the printed paper is curled or paper does not feed into the machine:


• Change the printer’s paper option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences , click the Paper tab, and set type to Thin (see


• An unknown image repetitively appears on a few sheets

• Loose toner

• Light print or contamination occurs

Your machine is probably being used at an altitude of 1,000 m (3,281 ft) or above.

The high altitude may affect the print quality, such as loose toner or light imaging. Change the altitude setting for your machine (see

"Altitude adjustment" on page 184).

Condition Suggested solutions

The machine does not print PDF files correctly. Some parts of graphics, text, or illustrations are missing.

Printing the PDF file as an image may enable the file to print. Turn on Print As Image from the Acrobat printing options.

It will take longer to print when you print a PDF file as an image.

Some letters are not displayed normally during cover page printing.

Mac OS cannot create the font while printing the cover page. The English alphabet and numbers are displayed normally on the cover page.

When printing a document in Mac with

Refer to the Mac User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Mac error messages.



3

Common Linux problems

condition

There is no xsane nor simplescan applicatin on my Linux machine.

Scanner can not be found via network.

When printing more than one copy, the second copy does not print.

Unchecking the collate option in the Print Dialog does not work.

Printing always works with duplex.

Printer is not added through system’s printing utility.

Paper size and orientation are disabled in the Print Dialog when opening text files.

Printing produces divided images.


For some Linux distributions, there might be no default scan application. To use scan features, install one of scan applications using download center supplied by the OS(ex. Ubuntu Software Center for Ubuntu, Install/Remove Software for openSUSE, Software for

Fedora).

For some Linux distributions, strong firewall is enabled and it may block our installer from opening the necessary port for searching network devices. In such a case, open the snmp port - 22161 manually or disable the firewall temporarily while using the device.

The problem occurs on Ubuntu 12.04 due to the problem in standard CUPS filter 'pdftops'. Update 'cups-filters' package to version

1.0.18 to fix the problem ('pdftops' is a part of 'cups-filters' package).

For some distributions, GNOME Print Dialog has an issue handling the collate option. As workaround, set the default value of collate option to False using the system's printing utility(execute "system-config-printer" in the Terminal program).

This duplex issue was in Ubuntu 9.10 CUPS package. Update CUPS version to 1.4.1-5ubuntu2.2.

The problem occurs on Debian 7 due to the defect in 'system-config-printer' package of the Debian 7 (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/ bugreport.cgi?bug=662813 in Debian bug tracking system). Please use another way to add printer (CUPS WebUI for example)

The problem occurs on Fedora 19 and it's related to 'leafpad' text editor on Fedora 19. Please use other text editors like 'gedit'.

This issue exists in openSUSE 13.2 due to wrong ghostscript provided by the system. Update 'cups-filters-ghostscript' package with the command "zypper install --force cups-filters-ghostscript" or with "Install/Remove Software" utility.

Refer to the Linux User’s Guide that came with your computer for further information on Linux error messages.

• Print a configuration page and verify that the PS version is available for printing.

• If the problem persists, contact a service representative.

You might need to reduce the complexity of the page or install more memory.

Limit Check Error report prints The print job was too complex.

A PostScript error page prints

The optional tray is not selected in the driver

The print job may not be PostScript.

The printer driver has not been configured to recognize the optional tray.

When printing a document in

Mac with Acrobat Reader 6.0 or higher, colors print incorrectly

The resolution setting in the printer driver may not be matched with the one in Acrobat Reader.

Make sure that the print job is a PostScript job. Check to see whether the software application expected a setup or PostScript header file to be sent to the machine.

Open the driver properties, select the Device Options
