If you need additional help, the Brother Solutions Center offers the latest FAQs and troubleshooting tips. Visit us at http://solutions.brother.com.
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Printing Difficulties (Continued) Difficulties Suggestions The machine prints the first couple of pages correctly, then some pages have text missing. Your computer is not recognizing the machine’s input buffer’s full signal. Make sure that you connected the interface cable correctly. (See the Quick Setup Guide.) The machine cannot print full pages of a document. Reduce the printing resolution. (See Advanced tab in the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.
Paper Handling Difficulties Difficulties Suggestions The machine does not load paper. If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray. The LCD shows No Paper or a Paper Jam message. If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled, you should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack over and put it back into the paper tray. Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again.
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Improving the print quality Examples of poor print quality ABCDEFGH CDEF abcdefghijk defg ABCD abcde 01234 Faint C Recommendation Check the machine’s environment. Conditions such as humidity, high temperatures, and so on, may cause this print fault. (See Choosing a location on page 33.) If the whole page is too light, Toner Save mode may be on. Turn off Toner Save mode in the machine’s menu settings or in the printer Properties of the driver.
Examples of poor print quality Recommendation Make sure that you use paper that meets our specifications. (See Acceptable paper and other media on page 9.) Choose Thick paper mode in the printer driver or in the machine’s Paper Type menu setting, or use thinner paper than you are currently using. (See Paper Type on page 15 and Basic tab in the Software User’s Guide on the CD-ROM.) Hollow print Check the machine’s environment. Conditions such as high humidity can cause hollow print.
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Examples of poor print quality ABCDEFGH abcdefghijk ABCD abcde 01234 White lines across the page Recommendation Make sure that you use paper that meets our specifications. A rough surfaced paper or thick print media can cause the problem. (See Acceptable paper and other media on page 9.) Make sure that you choose the proper media type in the printer driver or in the machine’s Paper Type menu setting.
Examples of poor print quality Recommendation Check the paper type and quality. High temperatures and high humidity will cause paper to curl. If you do not use the machine often, the paper may have been in the paper tray too long. Turn over the stack of paper in the paper tray. Also, fan the paper stack and then rotate the paper 180° in the paper tray. Curled or wave Make sure that paper is loaded properly. B DEFGH abc efghijk Check the paper type and quality.
