I forgot the password for
feature programming via
remote operation.

remember it, assign a new password using feature #155 (page 60). When
required to enter the current password, enter “0101” instead.
Problem Cause & Solution

monochrome.
OR
I cannot print in color.
L When using the unit as a printer, change the color mode from the [Quality]
tab (page 29).
L When printing on envelopes, even if you press {Black}/{Color}, the printing
color will follow the color mode setting.

empty, you can still print in monochrome.
I cannot print a file on an FTP
server.
L The FTP server settings are not registered. Program the FTP server
settings beforehand (page 75).
L The file is too large or is in an unsupported format. Use a supported file
format (page 33).
Color printing is too dark or
too light.
L Change the color calibration (page 80).
Vertical, white lines appear
on the printed documents.
L The drum cartridge may be the cause. Print the color test, then the printer
test pages to clean the drum cartridge (feature #480 on page 110).
The printing quality is poor
(e.g. has smudges, blurred
points or lines).
L Some paper has instructions recommending which side to print on. Try
turning the recording paper over.
L You may have used paper with a cotton and/or fiber content that is over
20 %, such as letterhead or resume paper.
L The recording paper is too damp. Use new paper.
I changed the recording
paper, but the printing quality
is still poor.
L The glass or rollers are dirty with correction fluid, etc. Clean them (page
107, 108). Please do not insert a document before correction fluid has dried
completely.
L The paper chute is dirty with toner, etc. Clean it (page 109).

problem (page 110).

Check with the other party.
