Printing 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.

they are blank.
The toner cartridge
is defective or out of
toner.
Redistribute the toner, if
necessary.
If necessary, replace the
toner cartridge.
The file may have
blank pages.
Check the file to ensure that
it does not contain blank
pages.

as the controller or

of photos is not
good. Images are
not clear.

can cause vapor
during printing.

paper, such as
billing paper.
