Print Image Quality Problems
When functioning correctly, the printer should produce printed paper that is relatively flat and
undamaged, containing a fused image of correct intensity—without streaks, smears, spots, or miss-
ing areas. If the printed sheets that your printer produces do not meet these qualifications, there is a
print image quality problem.
Minor Print Image Quality Problems can be caused by exhausted or damaged consumables,
such as the toner cartridge. These problems area easily corrected by simply replacing the con-
sumable.
Major Print Image Quality Problems can be caused by a malfunctioning or broken compo-
nent. These problems may require you to call a service technician to determine and correct
the problem.
