Print Quality Problems

If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly, there might be a reduction in

print quality. See the table below to clear the problem.

The machine does not print a

PDF file correctly. Some parts of

graphics, text, or illustrations

are missing.

Incompatibility between the

PDF file and the Acrobat

products.

• 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.

The print quality of photos is

not good. Images are not clear.

The resolution of the photo is

very low.

• Reduce the photo size. If you

increase the photo size in the

software application, the resolution

will be reduced.

Before printing, the machine

emits vapor near the output

tray.

Using damp paper can cause

vapor during printing.

• Load a new batch of paper.

• To avoid the paper absorbing too

much moisture, do not open

packages of paper until required.

The machine does not print

special- sized paper, such as

billing paper.

Paper size and paper size

setting do not match.

• Set the correct paper size in the

Custom Paper tab in the Printing

Preferences (See Paper Options.)

Condition Suggested Solutions

Light or faded print • If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page, the toner supply is low.

You may be able to temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. (See Redistributing

To ne r.) If this does not improve the print quality, install a new toner cartridge.

• The paper may not meet paper specifications; for example, the paper may be too

moist or rough. (See Media Guidelines.)

• If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is too low or the ECO mode is

on. Adjust the print resolution and turn the ECO mode off. See the help screen of the

printer driver.

• A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that the toner cartridge or

the area around it needs cleaning. (See Cleaning the Machine.) If these steps do not

correct the problem, call for service.

Toner specks • The paper may not meet specifications; for example, the paper may be too moist or

rough. (See Media Guidelines.)

• The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. (See Cleaning the

Machine.)

• The paper path may need cleaning. Call for service.
