Improving the print quality
Examples of poor print quality Recommendation

Check the machine’s environment. Conditions such as humidity, high
temperatures, and so on may cause this print fault. (See Choosing a location on
page 1-2.)
If the whole page is too light, Toner Save mode may be on. Turn off Toner Save
mode in the Advanced tab of printer driver Properties.
OR
If this problem occurs when making copies or printing received faxes, turn off
Toner Save mode in the machine itself. (See Toner Save on page 2-7.)
