Ghosting images
• Check the machine’s environment. Conditions such as
low humidity and low temperatures may cause this
print quality problem.
• Make sure the media type setting in the printer driver
matches the type of paper you are using.
• Make sure the two gray levers inside the back cover
are in the up position.
• Install a new drum unit.
See Related Information:Replace the Drum Unit.

Toner smears easily
• Make sure the two gray levers inside the back cover
are in the up position.
• Make sure the media type setting in the printer driver
matches the type of paper you are using.
• Choose Improve Toner Fixing mode in the printer
driver.
If this selection does not provide enough
improvement, change the printer driver setting in
Media Type to a thick setting. If you are printing an
envelope, choose Env. Thick in the media type
setting.
Curled or wavy image
• Choose Reduce Paper Curl mode in the printer
driver.
If the problem is not solved, choose Plain Paper in
the media type setting.
• If you are printing an envelope, chooseEnv. Thin in
the Media Type Setting of the printer driver.
• 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.
• Store the paper where it will not be exposed to high
temperatures and high humidity.
• Open the back cover (Face up output tray) to let the
printed paper exit onto the Face up output tray.
Envelope creases
• Make sure the envelope levers inside the back cover
are pulled down to the envelope position when you
print envelopes.
NOTE
When you have finished printing, open the back
cover and reset the two gray levers back to
their original position (1) by lifting them up until
they stop.
