The toner does not fix to paper well. How do I improve the toner fixing? (poor fixing)
To solve this issue, please follow the steps below.
Step 1:
Make sure that the gray levers inside the back cover are in the up position as follows:
-
Open the back cover of the printer.
-
Check the both gray levers inside the back cover are the up position.
If not: one gray lever is the up position and another is the envelope position or the both grey levers are the envelope position, please change the position to the up one.
-
Close the back cover and then try to print again.
If you print the envelope or thicker paper, change the both lever position to the envelope one, and then try to print again with the back cover opened.
Step 2:
Make sure that the media type setting in the printer driver matches the type of paper you are using.
