Problem Cause and solution Page

Printing is slow.

The printed image is light and uneven.

The printed image is dirty.

The printed image is skewed or it runs off the paper.

The scanned image is clipped.

The scanned image data cannot be opened.

Transmission takes a long time.

Simultaneous use of two or more application software programs.

→ Start printing after quitting all unused application software programs.

The paper is loaded so that printing takes place on the back side of the paper.

→ Some paper types have a front and back side. If the paper is loaded so that

printing takes place on the back side, toner will not adhere well to the paper and a good image will not be obtained.

You are using paper that is outside the specified size and weight range.

→ Use copy paper within the specified range.

Paper curled or damp.

→ Do not use curled or crimped paper. Replace with dry copy paper. During

periods when the machine is not used for a long time, remove the paper from the tray and store it in a dark place in a bag to prevent moisture absorption.

You did not set sufficient margins in the paper settings of your application.

→ The top and bottom of the paper may be dirty if the margins are set outside

of the specified print quality area.

→ Set the margins in the software application within the specified print quality

area.

The paper loaded in the tray is not the same size as that specified in the printer driver.

→ Check if the "Paper Size" options suit the size of the paper loaded in the tray.

If the "Fit To Paper Size" setting is activated, make sure that the paper size selected from the drop-down list is the same as the size of the loaded paper.

The orientation of document setting is not correct.

→ Click the "Main" tab in the printer driver setup screen, and verify if the "Image

Orientation" option is set to your requirements.

Paper is not loaded properly.

→ Make sure the paper is properly loaded.

The margins are not set correctly in the application.

→ Check the paper size and margin settings in the application. Also make sure

that the print settings are correct for the paper size.

The selected "Scan Size" setting is smaller than the actual original size.

→ Set the scan size to the actual original size and make sure that the original is

placed in the correct orientation. If you intentionally selected a size setting smaller than the actual original size, take into consideration the part of the original that you wish to scan when placing the original. For example, if the actual size is A4 (8-1/2" x 11") and you selected B5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") for the size setting, place the original so that the part that you wish to scan is within the B5 (5-1/2" x 8-1/2") area at the left, centre of the glass.

The viewer program does not support the format of the scanned image data.

→ The scanned image is provided in PDF format.

To view the image in PDF format, Acrobat Reader or Adobe Reader of Adobe Systems Incorporated is required. If neither program is installed on your computer, the programs can be downloaded from the following URL:

http://www.adobe.com/

When there is a large amount of image information, the data file is also large and transmission takes a long time.
