Before troubleshooting print problems, perform the following:

• Clean the photoconductor unit and printhead.
• Make sure that the printer is located in an area that follows the recommended operating environment and power requirement specifications.
• Check the status of supplies. Replace supplies that are low or empty.
• Load 20‑lb plain letter or A4 paper. Make sure that the paper guides are properly set and locked. From the control panel, set the paper size and type to match the paper loaded in the tray.
• Print and keep the menu settings page. The original menu settings page will be used to restore the customer’s custom settings if necessary.
• Make sure that the Print resolution and Toner darkness on the menu settings page are set to their default values.
• Check the transfer roller, toner cartridge, and transfer belt for damage, and replace if necessary.
• Print the print quality pages to see if the problem remains. Use tray 1 to test print quality problems. Look for variations in the print from what is expected.
• Make sure that the correct print driver is used to prevent print problems. If the wrong print driver is installed, incorrect characters could print, and the copy may not fit the page correctly.
