3.4.5.2 Print Quality-related FIP Table
To reliably judge and understand the details of trouble, and perform the correct remedy
efficiently when printing quality-related trouble occurs, make a test print, and use the
FIP tables corresponding to the phenomena.
When trouble cannot be restored by the printing quality-related FIP, check again using
the FIP, and then replace all parts indicated in the “ESS and possible parts that caused
the error” one by one to check the parts and perform troubleshooting.
The printing quality-related FIPs describe typical troubles as below.
