Possible cause

Checkpoint

Solution

Abnormal
printing

Ink smudge

Ink on the driven
roller of the
upper paper
guide or other
paper paths.

Feed plain paper and
check if it gets ink
smudge.

Clean the spot
stained with the ink.

PG is too narrow
or the paper
loaded does not
meet the
specification.

Check the position of
the PF lever.
Check the paper
thickens.

Set the PG lever to
“+”.
Use the paper that
meets the
specification.
