Problem

Solution

Character voids are white areas within the parts of
characters that should be solid black:

• If you are using transparencies when you experience this

problem, try another type of transparency. (Because of the
composition of transparency media, some character voids
are normal.)

• You may be printing on the wrong surface of the paper.

Remove the paper and turn it around.

• The paper may not meet paper specifications. See “Paper

Specifications” on

page A.2

Character Voids

• Clean the inside of the printer.

• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper

Specifications” on

page A.2

• Try installing a new toner cartridge.

• If the problem persists, the printer may require repairs.

Contact a service representative.

Loose toner

If horizontally aligned black streaks or smears appear:

• The toner cartridge may be installed improperly. Remove

the cartridge and reinsert it.

• The toner cartridge may be defective. Install a new toner

cartridge.

• If the problem persists, the printer may require repairs.

Contact a service representative.
