• Change the printer option and try again. Go to
Printing Preferences
, click the
Paper
tab, and set type to
Thick
or
Thicker
(see
A a B b C
"Opening printing preferences" on page 34).
If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.
White Spots
If white spots appear on the page:
• The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from paper falls to the inner components within the machine, so the transfer roller may be
dirty. Clean the inside of your machine.
• The paper path may need cleaning. Clean the inside of your machine.
If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.
Vertical lines
If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The surface (drum part) of the toner cartridge inside the machine has probably been scratched. Remove the toner cartridge and
install a new one.
If white vertical streaks appear on the page:
• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be dirty. Clean the inside of your machine. If these steps do not correct the
problem, contact a service representative.
