Improving the print quality

If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (see 

 page 3-8

). If the printout looks good, the 

problem is probably not the printer. Check the interface cable or try the printer on another PC.

This section provides information on the following topics:

selected.

 Toner Save

 mode may be on. Turn off
