Problem Cause Solution

(Toner is not fixed.)
The fixing ratio of toner is too
low. This problem may occur
when very dense images such
as halftone images are printed.
• Specify a paper thickness
that is greater than the one
currently set in paper type
settings. If specifying
thicker paper does not
resolve the problem,
specify a paper thickness
that is further greater than
the one currently used.
• If the problem persists,
print in Silent mode.
