Colors are off.
Did you perform "Registration 
Adjustment"?
Ask your administrator to perform "Registration 
Adjustment".
If the colors are out of position in the printed output of a 
color print job, "Registration Adjustment" can be used to 
adjust the print position of each color.
➞ System Settings (Administrator) > "Device Control" >
"Other Settings" > "Registration Adjustment"
If the color tones are off, perform "Auto Color 
Calibration". (If the colors are still off after calibration, 
repeating calibration may improve the results.)
➞ System Settings (Administrator) > "Printer Settings" >
"Auto Color Calibration"
Text and lines are faint 
and difficult to see.
Was color data printed in black and 
white?
(Windows)
When color text and lines are printed in black and white, 
they may become faint and difficult to see. To have 
color text or lines (areas) that are faint converted to 
black, select [Text To Black] or [Vector To Black] on the 
[Color] tab of the printer driver. (Raster data such as 
bitmap images cannot be adjusted.)
Part of the image is 
cut off.
Does the paper size specified by the job 
match the size of paper loaded in the 
tray?
Make sure that the paper size setting matches the size 
of paper loaded in the tray.
The paper size setting is selected as follows:
Windows:
On the [Paper] tab of the printer driver.
If [Fit to Paper Size] is selected, check the loaded 
paper and the paper size setting.
Macintosh:
In the [Page Setup] menu.
Is the print orientation setting (portrait or 
landscape) correct?
Set the print orientation to match the image.
The print orientation is selected as follows:
Windows: On the [Main] tab of the printer driver.
Macintosh: In the [Page Setup] menu.
Are the margins set correctly in the 
layout settings of the application?
If the edge of the image extends outside the printable 
area of the machine, the edge will be cut off. Select an 
appropriate paper size and margins in the layout 
settings of the application.
The image is upside 
down.
Are you using a type of paper (punch 
paper, etc.) that can only be loaded in a 
fixed orientation?
When the image size and paper size are the same but the 
orientations are different, the orientation of the image is 
automatically rotated to match the paper. However, when 
the paper can only be loaded in a fixed orientation, this 
may result in the image being printed upside down. In this 
event, rotate the image 180 degrees before printing.
The 180 degree rotation setting is selected as follows:
Windows:
On the [Main] tab of the printer driver.
Macintosh (OS X v10.3.9 to 10.5.1):
On the [Page Setup] menu. (Landscape orientation 
only.)
(In Mac OS 9.0 to 9.2.2, in the [PostScript Options] 
menu of the [Page Setup] menu.)
