moist or rough. For details, refer to Supported Paper .

the Printer .

• The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has moist spots on its
surface. Try a different brand of paper. For details, refer to Supported Paper .

reject toner. Try a new ream or brand of paper.
• Set the correct paper type option. For details, refer to Paper Tab .
• If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a service representative.

printer on to the transfer roller. Clean the inside of your printer, refer to Cleaning
the Printer .

clean using a lint-free cloth. For instructions, refer to Cleaning the Document
Glass and Constant Velocity Transport Glass .
