FAQs & Troubleshooting

I'm having a problem with the print quality.

If you are having problems with print results, check the following:


Check


  1. The machine's environment.
    Choose a location where the temperature remains between 10 °C and 32.5°C (50°F and 90°F) and humidity is between 20% to 80% (without condensation).

  2. Acceptable paper is loaded in the paper tray.

  3. The paper is loaded correctly in the machine.

    Turning the paper over may help paper loading become smoother.
