DocuPrint N4525 Network Laser Printer 

Symptom: Light or faint prints

The overall image is lighter than normal. 

Symptom: Blank prints

The entire printed page is blank with no visible print.

Possible causes and solutions:

If you are using Draft Mode, turn off Draft Mode. 

The toner level may be low. Remove the Laser 

Print Cartridge and carefully shake it several 
times, then re-install it. (This may help 
redistribute the remaining toner before having 
to replace the cartridge.) If the Laser Print 
Cartridge is empty, replace it.

The paper stock may be damp. Replace the 

paper stock.

Possible causes and solutions:

If you just installed a new Laser Print Cartridge, 

the yellow sealing tape may still be in place. 
Remove the tape.

Multiple sheets may have been fed from the 

paper tray at the same time. Remove the paper 
from the paper tray and fan it. Also, ensure that 
the paper is correctly loaded in the tray.

Printable data may not have been received from 

the computer. To test this, print a Configuration 
Sheet, as described on the previous page. If the 
Configuration Sheet is normal, check the 
Interface cable between the computer and 
printer, the printer set up, and application 
software. If the Test Print is blank, contact your 
Customer Support Center.

The Laser Print Cartridge may be defective or 

low on toner. Replace the Laser Print Cartridge.
