The non-printed side of the page is dirty
Cause
What to do
Toner may have spilled onto the paper feed path.

only one character per page.
Print quality decreased
Cause
What to do
The printer cannot print in the required quality level
because of insufficient memory, and the printer lowers
the quality automatically so that the printer can continue
printing.
Check to see if the printout is acceptable. If not, add more memory
for a permanent solution or lower print quality temporarily in the
printer driver.
If
RAM Disk
is set to
Maximum
or
Normal
on the control panel, you
can increase the available memory space by changing this setting
to
Off
