background of the copies.

Darken to lighten the background of your
copies.
• If no defects are on the original, clean the scan
unit. See page 13.3.

new package.
• In high humidity areas, do not leave paper in
the machine for extended periods of time.
Frequent copy
paper jams occur. • Fan the stack of paper, then turn it over in the
tray. Replace the paper in the tray with a fresh
supply. Check/adjust the paper guides, if
necessary.
• Ensure that the paper is the proper paper
weight. 75 g/m 2 bond paper is recommended.
• Check for paper or pieces of paper remaining in
the machine after a paper jam has been
cleared.

heavy lines. For example, your originals may
be forms, newsletters, books, or other
documents that use more toner.
• The machine may be turned on and off
frequently.
