Several factors influence printer performance, including temperature, humidity, air pressure, and the
chemical characteristics of the paper and coatings. The printer must form an electrostatic image on
the paper, which depends on the ability of the air to hold and transfer electrical charges. The paper
and coatings must hold an electrical charge in the areas where the toner must adhere.
To optimize the performance of your printer:
1. At the printer control panel, press the Home button.
2. Touch Device.
3. Touch Tools.
4. Touch Troubleshooting > Calibration > Print Calibration > Next.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions to run the Print Calibration procedure.
