Possible solutions for print quality issues

The color of your printouts is not what you expected

When I print a document as a booklet from Microsoft Office 2003 or later, a drawing object does not position correctly on the printed page. (For Windows BR-Script Printer Drivers users)

The printout is out of alignment or the size of the printed document is reduced when printing the document from Microsoft Word 2010.

I just setup my Brother machine and my printed pages are light or faded on one side.

Colours are light or unclear on the whole page

The image is offset

Uneven density appears periodically across the page.

Paper is curled or wavy.

Envelope creases

Paper is wrinkled.

Thin lines do not print.

Colour misregistration

Coloured spots at 94 mm (3.7 in.) intervals or at 30 mm (1.2 in.) intervals

Coloured lines across the page

White lines, bands or ribbing across the page

White spots or hollow print

Coloured streaks or bands down the page

All one colour

Completely blank or some colours are missing.

When printing with the BR-Script Printer Driver via Mac OSX 10.5, the Black colour is incorrect and has too much Red.

When I try to print thin colour borders in Microsoft Excel, the borders are printed in black.

When I print from PowerPoint using the 2 in 1 feature, some of the borders around the document are not printed or lines are printed that shouldn't be there.
