There is considerable delay be-
tween the print start command 
and actual printing.
• Processing time depends on data volume. High volume 
data, such as graphics-heavy documents, take longer to 
process.
• If "Processing" is displayed on the screen, the machine is 
receiving data. Wait for a while.
• To speed up printing, reduce the printing resolution us-
ing the printer driver. For details, see the printer driver 
Help.
• The machine is calibrating color. Wait for a while.
Prints fall behind the machine 
when they are output.
Raise the appropriate stop fence (forward fence for A4/Let-
ter, rear fence for Legal size prints). See p.21 “Exterior: Rear 
View”.
Prints do not stack properly. • Paper is damp. Use paper that has been stored properly. 
See p.64 “Paper and Other Media”.
• Select [Mode2] or [Mode3] in [High Humidity Mode] under 
[Machine Settings]. Note that if you select [Mode2] or 
[Mode3], the first print takes longer than subsequent 
prints to complete.
• Raise the appropriate stop fence (forward fence for 
A4/Letter, rear fence for Legal size prints). See p.21 “Ex-
terior: Rear View”.
The whole printout is blurred. • Paper is damp. Use paper that has been stored properly. 
See p.64 “Paper and Other Media”.
• Select [Mode1], [Mode2] or [Mode3] in [High Humidity Mode] 
under [Machine Settings]. Note that if you select [Mode2] or 
[Mode3], the first print takes longer than subsequent 
prints to complete.
• If you enable [Toner Saver Mode] under [Machine Settings], 
printing is generally less dense.
• Toner is almost depleted. If “Near End X Toner” (“X" in-
dicates the toner color) appears on the screen, replace the 
indicated print cartridge.
• Condensation may have collected. If rapid change in 
temperature or humidity occurs, use this machine only 
after it has acclimatized.
The toner is powdery and comes 
away from the paper, or the 
printed image has a matt appear-
ance.
Check if the fusing unit lever is lowered or the grey knobs 
are positioned as in the image below.
