Print Quality Difficulties
Printed pages are curled. Thin or thick paper below the standard can cause this problem. Make
sure you select the Paper Type that suits the media type you use. (See
Setting the Paper Type on page 4-1 and Media Type on page 7-4.)
Printed pages are smeared. The Paper Type setting may be incorrect for the type of print media you
are using—OR—The print media may be too thick or have a rough
surface. (See Setting the Paper Type on page 4-1 and Media Type on
page 7-4.)
Printouts are too light. Set Toner Save mode to off in the Advance tab in the printer driver. (See
Toner Save Mode on page 7-6.)
