Maintaining print quality

If you notice a problem with the quality of your prints, the probable
solution is replacing one of the consumable components (toner cartridges,
Imaging Unit, Fuser, Fuser Roll or Transfer Kit).

Make sure that you are using the recommended media. Refer to
“Media hints and tips” on page 7-38 and “All about media” on
page 4-30.

Check if the printer’s front panel message indicates replacing one
or more consumables and replace it if necessary.

To help you diagnose the problem (in the absence of a front
panel message), print the Consumables Page or Service Print 1 from
the

Help Pages

menu in the front panel.

Use the Consumables Page and Service Print 1 to diagnose and
correct any print quality problems. If you need to call the Customer
Support Hotline, always print the Consumables Page first; it
contains useful diagnostic information.

Refer to the table “

Troubleshooting and print quality quick

reference

” on page 7-7 for examples of symptoms, probable causes,

and solutions. The

Phaser 560 Color Laser Printer Quick Reference

Guide

and the CD-ROM and World Wide Web topics contain color

examples of some of the most common print artifacts to help
diagnose and correct print quality problems.
