Faint small text/thin line in black during printing
[Symptom]
When a printout is made, the symptom, Faint small text and thin line in black, may occur.

This machine reliably reproduces drawing data of small text and thin line.
When the fonts for small text and thin line are printed, they tend to appear thinner/fainter than those printed from other models.
This results in the symptom.

[Caution] Changing the setting value in the following procedure somewhat increases the black toner consumption.
