FAQs & Troubleshooting

The colour around the edge of my print is incorrect.


Please check the following points:

  • Make sure that the drum unit is installed properly.
  • Make sure that the belt unit is installed properly.
  • Make sure that the waste toner box is installed properly.
  • Perform the auto colour registration by using the control panel.
    Press Menu and choose Printer => Auto Regist. => Registration => Start.

Perform the manual colour registration by using the control panel.

  1. Print the correction chart by using the control panel.
    Press Menu and choose Printer => Manual Regist. => Print Chart.
    Then press Start to start printing.
  2. Enter the correction value on the chart.
    Press Menu and choose Printer => Manual Regist. => Set Regist.
    Then follow the instructions on Colour Registration Chart.

If the colour misregistration is not corrected after registering the colour manually, take all the toner cartridges out of the drum unit and turn the drum unit over, then make sure that the four drum unit gears are in the home position. The home position of each drum can be identified by matching the number on the drum unit gear to the same number on the side of the drum unit as shown in the illustration.

  • The drum unit may be damaged. Put in a new drum unit.
  • Put in a new belt unit.
  • Put in a new waste toner box.
