Solving Print Quality Problems
General print quality problems can be solved by using the following checklist.
• Redistribute the toner in the print cartridge (see “Redistributing Toner” on page 6.3).
• Clean the inside of the printer (see “Cleaning the Inside” on page 6.6).
• Adjust the print resolution from the printer properties (see “Resolution” on page 5.13).
• Troubleshoot general printing problems (see “Solving General Printing Problems” on
page 7.3).
• Install a new print cartridge, and then check print quality again (see “Installing the
Print Cartridge” on page 2.3).
Print Quality Checklist
Solving Print Quality Problems
If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page:
• The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily
extend the print cartridge life. See “Redistributing Toner” on
page 6.3. If this does not improve the print quality, install a
new print cartridge.
• The print media may not meet specifications (for example, if
the print media is too moist or too rough). See “Print Media
Specifications” on page A.3.
• A combination of faded and smeared defects may indicate
that the print cartridge needs cleaning. See “Cleaning the
Printer” on page 6.6.
