If the problem is not solved after printing a few pages, the drum unit may have 
glue from a label stuck on the drum surface. Clean the drum unit. (See 

Cleaning the drum unit

on page 133.)

Toner scatter or toner stain

 

Check the printer’s environment. Conditions such as high humidity and high 
temperatures may cause this print quality problem. (See 

Positioning the 

printer

on page 5.)

Make sure that you use paper that meets our specifications. (See

Perform the calibration. (See

Adjust the color by using the custom setting in the driver and by using the 
control panel. Colors the printer can print and colors you see on a monitor are 
different. The printer may not be able to reproduce the colors on your monitor.
