Print-Quality Troubleshooting
Checklist Before Troubleshooting Print-Quality
Checking the Printer Condition
Toner
Low toner can cause print-quality problems, such as Fading, Streaking, White 
Lines, or Dropouts. Print a small document from different software 
applications to replicate the problem and check the amount of toner available. 
Use the CentreWare Internet Services (IS) to check the supplies status. To 
access the CentreWare IS:
1. Open your web browser.
2. In the Address field, enter the printer IP address.
3. Click the Status button.
4. Click the Supplies button.
5. The Supplies Status is displayed.
If the toner is low, you can extend the Print Cartridge life by removing the 
Cartridge from the printer, and gently shaking the Print Cartridge from side-to-
side.
Cleaning
Paper, toner, and dust particles can accumulate inside the printer and cause 
print-quality problems such as Smearing or Toner Specks. Clean the inside of 
the printer to prevent these problems.
