Print-Quality Problems
When the print quality is poor, select the closest symptom from the following table and see the
corresponding solution to correct the problem. You can also print a demo page to more precisely
determine the print-quality problem. For details, see Information Pages on page 182.
If the print quality does not improve after carrying out the appropriate action, contact Xerox
®
Customer Support or your reseller.
Notes:
• To enhance print quality, toner cartridges for many models of equipment have been
designed to cease functioning at a predetermined point.
• Grayscale images printed with the composite black setting count as color pages, because
color consumables are used. Composite black is the default setting on most printers.
