Problem Cause Solution

Original images are printed on the reverse side of the paper.

Misfeeds occur frequently.

An error message remains, even if misfed paper is removed.

Cannot print in duplex mode.

You may have loaded the paper incorrectly.

Copy paper size setting is not correct.

The tray's end fence may not be set properly.

When a misfeed message appears, it remains until you open and close the cover as required.

Note

❒ If you cannot make copies as you want because of paper type, paper size, or

paper capacity problems, use recommended paper. See “Copy Paper”, About This Machine.

When a Job Is Not Performed

If you cannot execute a function, it may be that the machine is being held up by another function.

If you cannot execute a function, terminate any other functions currently active, and then try executing the function again. In some cases, you can carry out another job (copier, facsimile, printer, or scanner) without canceling the current job being performed. Performing multiple functions simultaneously like this is called “Multi-accessing”.

Problem Cause Solution

Copies appear dirty. Image density is too dark. Adjust the image density. See

“Adjusting Image Density”, Copy Reference.

Copies contain blots or are patchy.

The machine is not on a level surface.

Place the machine on a stable and level surface.

Make sure the machine's environment meets requirements. See p.95 “Where to Put Your Machine”.

Copies contain blots or are patchy.

Copies are too dark or too light.

The paper is creased, curled, or has blemishes.

Image density is too light. Adjust the image density. See

The paper is damp.

The correct paper type settings are not made.

The image was not printed on a suitable surface.

Smooth out the wrinkles from the paper, or replace it. See “Copy Paper”, About This Machine.

If paper comes out curled, adjust the Output Tray. See “Originals”, Copy Reference.

“Adjusting Image Density”, Copy Reference.

Use paper that has been stored in the recommended temperature and humidity condition. See “Copy Paper”, About This Machine.

Check the paper loaded on the paper tray or bypass tray matches the paper type set on the display panel. See “Copy Paper”, About This Machine.

Before printing on special paper, check its surface carefully. Printing on non-print surfaces reduces print quality and can damage the machine's internal components. See “Copy Paper”, About This Machine.

Copies are blank.

A moiré pattern is produced on copies.

Black spots appear on the copy of a photographic print.

The original is not placed correctly.

Your original has a dot pattern image or many lines.

Because of high humidity, the photographic print has stuck to the exposure glass.

When using the exposure glass, place originals face down. When using the ARDF, place them face up. See “Placing Originals”, Copy Reference.

Place the original on the exposure glass at a slight angle.

Place the print on the exposure glass in either of the following ways:

• Place an OHP transparency on

the exposure glass, and then place the print on top of the OHP transparency.

• Place the print on the expo-

sure glass, and then place two or three sheets of white paper on top of it. Leave the exposure glass cover or ARDF open when copying.

When You Cannot Make Copies As Wanted

This section describes causes and remedies when copy results are not as expected.

❖ Basic

Problem Cause Solution

Troubleshooting When Using the Copy Function

❖ Edit

Problem Cause Solution

When using the Duplex Margin function, parts of the original image are not copied.

❖ Combine

Problem Cause Solution

When using Combine, parts of the image are not copied.

You set a wide erased margin. Set a narrower margin with User

Tools. You can set the width between 0 - 50 mm (0" - 2").

See “Copier Features”, General Settings Guide.

There is a lack of margin space on the opposite side of the binding position.

You specified a reproduction ratio that does not match the sizes of your originals and copy paper.

Your originals are not identical in size and direction.

Set a narrower margin with User Tools. You can set the width between 0 - 50 mm (0" - 2").

See “Copier Features”, General Settings Guide.

When you specify a reproduction ratio using the Manual Paper Select function, make sure that the ratio matches your originals and the copy paper.

(Select the correct reproduction ratio before using the Combine function.)

Use originals that are identical in size and direction.

Copies are not in correct order.

You placed the originals in the incorrect order.

When placing a stack of originals in the ARDF, the last page should be on the bottom.

If you place an original on the exposure glass, start with the first page to be copied.

You have selected a tray that is set to [Off] for duplex printing in

[Tray Paper Settings] under [System Settings].

You placed the originals in the incorrect order.

You placed the originals in the wrong orientation.

The margin is too wide.

Remove paper loaded on the bypass tray. Load paper in Tray 1 - 2.

Change the paper.

Select a paper tray in [Tray Paper Settings] under [System Settings], and then press [OK]. Then, select

[No Display (Plain Paper)] or [Recycled Paper] for Paper Type, press

[Duplex], and then select [On]. See “Tray Paper Settings”, General Settings Guide.
