Did you set the correct paper type? Set the correct paper type in the tray settings. Make
sure that the following has not occurred:
• Heavy paper is being used, but a paper type other
than heavy paper is selected in the tray settings. (The
image may disappear if rubbed.)
• Paper other than heavy paper is being used, but
heavy paper is selected in the tray settings. (This may
cause creases and misfeeds.)
☞ PAPER TRAY SETTINGS (page 77)
Is the paper loaded so that printing
takes place on the reverse side?
If printing takes place on the wrong side of label sheets
or transparency film, the toner may not adhere well and
a clear image may not be obtained.
Print quality is poor. Is "Toner Save Mode" enabled? When "Toner Save Mode" is enabled, printing takes
place using less toner and thus the print result is lighter.
