Troubleshooting

Improving the print quality

6

If you have a print quality problem, print a test page first (see 

Print a test page

 

uu

page 82). If the printout 

looks good, the problem is probably not the machine. Check the interface cable or try the machine on another 
computer. If the printout has a quality problem, check the following steps first. And then, if you still have a 
print quality problem, check the chart below and follow the recommendations.

Note

Using non-Brother supplies may affect the print quality, hardware performance, and machine reliability.

 

a

To get the best print quality, we suggest using the recommended paper. Check that you are using paper 
that meets our specifications. (See 

Acceptable paper and other print media

 

uu

page 2.)

b

Check that the drum unit and toner cartridge are installed properly.

Examples of poor print quality

Recommendation

 

Faint

Take out the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly. Hold the assembly level 
with both hands and gently shake it from side to side several times to spread 
the toner evenly inside the cartridge.

If the LEDs indicate 

Replace Toner

, put in a new toner cartridge.

Check the machine’s environment. Conditions such as humidity, high 
temperatures, and so on, may cause this print fault.
