Cause
What to do
You may not be using the correct type of paper for your
printer.
If the surface of your paper is too rough, printed characters may
appear distorted or broken. Smooth, high-quality copier paper is
recommended for best results. See “Available paper types” on
page 229 for information on choosing paper.
The paper path inside the printer may be dusty.
Clean internal printer components by printing three pages with
only one character per page.
