ency film, or thick stock) you are printing on: use the Media key
on the printer's control panel to tell the printer whether paper or
transparencies have been loaded in the currently selected cas-
sette. See chapter 1, “Printer Configuration,” in the reference
guide for information on using the control panel.

Make sure the media is in good shape and meets all the specifi-

Remove the toner cartridges and shake them horizontally. Toner
can settle, and this procedure redistributes the toner. Reinstall the
