5. Troubleshooting
Toner particles are
around bold
characters or pictures
The toner might not adhere properly to this type of paper.
• Change the printer option and try again. Go to Printing Preferences, click the Paper tab, and set the paper type to Recycled (see
"Opening printing preferences" on page 48).
• Ensure the correct paper type is selected. For example: If Thicker Paper is selected, but Plain Paper actually used, an overcharging
can occur causing this copy quality problem.
Misformed characters • If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try different paper.
Page skew • Ensure that the paper is loaded properly.
• Check the paper type and quality.
• Ensure that the guides are not too tight or too loose against the paper stack.
