The Printed Paper Has Vertical Streaks
Perform one of the following solutions according to the cause.
<Cause 1> Depending on the paper type or the operating environment, vertical streaks may appear on the printed paper.
|
Solution 1
|
Replace the paper with new paper in an unopened package.
|
|
Solution 2
|
Perform the following procedure in the printer driver.
|
1.
|
Display the [Finishing] tab.
|
|
2.
|
Click [Advanced Settings].
|
|
3.
|
Set [Special Print Adjustment C] to [On].
|
You can specify the same setting from the printer's control panel.
|
|
Resetting the setting to [Off] due to change in paper type or operating environment may also avoid vertical streaks appearing on the printed paper. In this case, reset the setting to [Off].
|
|
|
If you specify this setting, printing speed drops.
|
|
|
Solution 3
|
Perform the following procedure in the printer driver.
|
1.
|
Display the [Finishing] tab.
|
|
2.
|
Click [Advanced Settings].
|
|
3.
|
Set [Special Print Adjustment A] to [Mode 1].
If the problem is not solved, specify [Mode 2].
If the problem is not solved, specify [Mode 3].
 If the problem is not solved, specify [Mode 4]. |
You can specify the same setting from the printer's control panel.
|
|
Resetting the setting to [Off] due to change in paper type or operating environment may also avoid vertical streaks appearing on the printed paper.
In this case, reset the setting to [Off].
|
|
|
Vertical streaks are alleviated by specifying a setting between [Mode 1] and [Mode 4]. However, this decreases print density compared to when [Off] is specified.
This may also make outlines appear to be blurred or slightly jagged.
|
|
|
If outlines are jagged, select [Off].
|
|
<Cause 2> The toner cartridge was replaced, or the printer was not printed for a long period of time.
|
Solution
|
Perform the following procedure in the printer driver.
|
1.
|
Display the [Finishing] tab.
|
|
2.
|
Click [Advanced Settings].
|
|
3.
|
Set [Special Print Adjustment B] to [Mode 1].
If the problem is not solved, specify [Mode 2]. If the problem is not solved, specify [Mode 3].  |
|
|
Selecting [Off] may also avoid vertical streaks appearing on the printed paper.
In this case, reset the setting to [Off].
|
|
|
If you specify this setting, printing speed may drop.
|
|
<Cause 3> Damp and thin paper (16.0 to 19.8 lb Bond (60 to 74 g/m²)) is used.
|
Solution
|
In the printer driver, set [Paper Type] to [Plain L] and [Special Print Mode C] to [On].
|
|
[Special Print Mode C] can also be set using the printer's control panel.
