Service tip: Before troubleshooting any print quality problems, do the following:
1.
Print a menu settings page, and then check the life status of all supplies. Any supplies that are low should
be replaced.
Note:
Be sure and keep the original menu page to restore the customer's custom settings if needed.
2.
On the menu page, make sure the following is set to the default level:
–
Color Correction: Set to Auto.
–
Print Resolution: Set to 1200 dpi (print quality problems should be checked at different resolution
settings).
–
Toner Darkness: Set to 4 (default).
–
Color Saver: Set to OFF.
–
RGB Brightness, RGB Contrast, RGB Saturation: Set to 0.
–
Color Balance: Select
Reset Defaults
to zero out all colors.
–
Check the paper type, texture and weight settings against what is loaded in the printer.
Once the printer has been restored to its default levels, do the following:
3.
Inspect the transfer module for damage. Replace if damaged.
4.
Inspect the photoconductor units and toner cartridges for damage. Replace if damaged.
5.
If paper other than 20 lb plain letter/A4 paper is being used, load 20 lb plain letter/A4 and print the Print
Quality pages to see if the problem remains.
6.
Use Tray 1 to test print quality problems.
7.
Print the Print Quality Pages, and then look for variations in the print from what is expected.
An incorrect printer driver for the installed software can cause problems. Incorrect characters could print, and
the copy may not fit the page correctly.
Measure all voltages from the connector to the printer ground.
Print quality—background
Service tip: Some background problems can be caused by rough papers, non-Lexmark toner cartridges or if the
media texture is set to the rough setting.
Some slick or coated papers may also cause background problems. Some problems occur with printers that run
a large amount of graphics in a humid environment.
