C Troubleshooting and routine maintenance C Troubleshooting C If you think there is a problem with your machine, check the chart below and follow the troubleshooting tips. Most problems can be easily resolved by yourself. If you need additional help, the Brother Solutions Center offers the latest FAQs and troubleshooting tips. Visit us at http://solutions.brother.com/. If you are having difficulty with your machine C Check the chart below and follow the troubleshooting tips.
Printing difficulties Difficulties No printout. C Suggestions Check that the machine is plugged in and the power switch is turned on. Check that the toner cartridge and drum unit are installed correctly. (See Replacing the drum unit on page 88.) Check the interface cable connection on both the machine and your computer. (See the Quick Setup Guide.) Check that the correct printer driver has been installed and chosen. Check to see if the LCD is showing an error message.
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Scanning difficulties C Difficulties Suggestions TWAIN errors appear while scanning. Make sure that the Brother TWAIN driver is chosen as the primary source. In PaperPort™ 11SE, click File, Scan or Get Photo and choose the Brother TWAIN driver. OCR does not work. Try increasing the scanning resolution. The machine does not scan all the pages of your document. Make sure that the ADF output tray does not contain more than 20 sheets.
Paper handling difficulties Difficulties C 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 abcdefghijk ABCD abcde 01234 White lines across the page C Recommendation Make sure that you use paper that meets our specifications.

The paper tray may be too full.
Troubleshooting and routine maintenance Examples of poor print quality Recommendation EFGHIJKLMN ABCDEFG Make sure that the envelope levers inside the back cover are pulled down when you print envelopes. Envelope creases Check the paper type and quality. High temperatures and high humidity will cause paper to curl. C 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.
Examples of poor print quality Recommendation Turn the paper over in the paper tray, and print again (excluding Letterhead paper). If the problem remains, slide the Anti-Curl Switch as follows: 1 Open the back cover. 2 With one hand, use the tab (1) to lift the roller assembly, then use your other hand to slide the Anti-Curl Switch (2) in the direction of the arrow.
