Maintaining print quality

If you notice a problem with the quality of your prints, the probable
solution is replacing one of the consumable components (toner cartridges,
Imaging Unit, Fuser, Fuser Roll or Transfer Kit).

■

Make sure that you are using the recommended media. Refer to
“Media hints and tips” on page 7-38 and “All about media” on
page 4-30.

■

Check if the printer’s front panel message indicates replacing one
or more consumables and replace it if necessary.

■

To help you diagnose the problem (in the absence of a front
panel message), print the Consumables Page or Service Print 1 from
the

Help Pages

menu in the front panel.

■

Use the Consumables Page and Service Print 1 to diagnose and
correct any print quality problems. If you need to call the Customer
Support Hotline, always print the Consumables Page first; it
contains useful diagnostic information.

■

Refer to the table “

Troubleshooting and print quality quick

reference

” on page 7-7 for examples of symptoms, probable causes,

and solutions. The

Phaser 560 Color Laser Printer Quick Reference

Guide

and the CD-ROM and World Wide Web topics contain color

examples of some of the most common print artifacts to help
diagnose and correct print quality problems.
