Did you set the correct paper type? Set the correct paper type in the tray settings.
Make sure that the following has not occurred:
• Heavy paper is being used, but a paper type other 
than heavy paper is selected in the tray settings. (The

heavy paper is selected in the tray settings. (This may 
cause creases and misfeeds.)

Is the paper loaded so that printing 
takes place on the reverse side?
Check that the paper is loaded so that printing takes 
place on the correct side.
If printing takes place on the wrong side of label sheets 
or transparency film, the toner may not adhere well and 
a clear image may not be obtained.
Print quality is poor. Is "Toner Save Mode" enabled? Check with your administrator.
When "Toner Save Mode" is enabled, printing takes 
place using less toner and thus the print result is lighter.
