Changing the Printer Driver Settings
You may eliminate certain problems by changing the printer driver settings as
described below.
Print Positions Do Not Match Display Positions
If the position of items on the printed page differs from the position displayed
on the computer screen, the cause may be one of the following.
Prints do not stack properly. • Paper is damp. Use paper that has been stored properly. 
See p.56 “Paper and Other Media”.
• Raise the stop fence. See p.30 “Unpacking” .
The whole printout is blurred. • Paper is damp. Use paper that has been stored properly. 
See p.56 “Paper and Other Media”.
• If you enable [Toner Saver Mode] under [Machine Settings], 
printing is generally less dense.
• Toner is almost depleted. If “Near End Print Cartridge" 
appears on the screen, replace the print cartridge.
• Condensation may have collected. If rapid change in 
temperature or humidity occurs, use this machine only 
after it has acclimatized.
Printed envelopes come out 
creased.
Check if the green levers found inside the rear cover are 
properly set.
Possible Cause Solution
Cannot print properly when us-
ing a certain application, or can-
