Background scatter
Background scatter results from bits of toner
randomly distributed on the printed page.
•
The paper may be too damp. Try printing
with a different batch of paper. Do not open
packages of paper until necessary so that
the paper does not absorb too much
moisture.
•
If background scatter occurs on an
envelope, change the printing layout to
avoid printing over areas that have
overlapping seams on the reverse side.
Printing on seams can cause problems.
•
If background scatter covers the entire
surface area of a printed page, adjust the
print resolution through your software
application or in printer properties.
Misformed
characters

If characters are improperly formed and
producing hollow images, the paper stock
may be too slick. Try different paper. (See

If characters are improperly formed and
producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit
may need service. Contact a service
representative.
