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 and follow the

recommendations in the table.

1. To get the best print quality, we suggest using recommended print media. Make sure you use paper that

meets our specifications. See Related Information: Recommended Print Media.

2. Check that the toner cartridge and drum unit assemblies are installed correctly.
