Images are missing or faded. See Calibrate the MFP . One or more print cartridges might
be low. Replace any low print cartridges.
The device might have calibrated
incorrectly after installing a print
cartridge. Calibrate the device. See
Calibrate the MFP .
The original might be of poor
quality. If the original is too light or
damaged, the copy might not be
able to compensate, even when
adjusting the contrast. If possible,
find an original document in better
condition.
The original might have a colored
background. Colored backgrounds might
cause images in the foreground to
blend into the background, or the
background might appear in a
different shade. If possible, use an
original document without a
colored background.
