Your computer is not recognising the full signal of the machine’s input buffer. Make sure you connected the interface cable correctly.
Home > Troubleshooting > Improve the Print Quality Improve the Print Quality If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first. If the printout looks good, the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable connections and try printing a different document. If the printout or test page printed from the machine has a quality problem, check the examples of poor print quality in the table and follow the recommendations.
Examples of poor print quality Recommendation Contact Brother Customer Service. • Select Thick Paper mode in the printer driver or use thinner paper than you are currently using. • Select the appropriate media type in the menu setting. • Check the machine’s environment. Conditions such as high humidity can cause hollow print. • The drum unit may be damaged. Replace the drum unit with a new drum unit. Hollow print • Clean the corona wire inside the drum unit. • The drum unit may be damaged.
Examples of poor print quality Recommendation Black spots at 94 mm intervals • If you use label sheets for laser printers, the glue from the sheets may sometimes stick to the drum surface. Clean the drum unit. See Related Information:Clean the Drum Unit. Black toner marks across the page • If you used paper that has clips or staples, the drum unit may be damaged. • If the unpacked drum unit is in direct sunlight (or room light for long periods of time), the unit may be damaged.
Examples of poor print quality Recommendation the 2-sided tray is inserted completely and the back cover is closed completely. Curled or wavy • 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.
