QMS 1060E Print System Operation

6-28

Printout Too Light

Check that Conserve

Toner is set to Off in
Administration/Engine/
Conserve Toner.

Increase the print density

by adjusting the print
density through the con-
trol panel via the Admin-
istration/Engine/Print
Density option.

Remove the toner cartridge and rock it as you would when

installing a new cartridge. This redistributes toner inside
the cartridge. Then, reinstall the cartridge.

The toner cartridge may be defective. Install a new toner

cartridge.
