report the message number and description of the problem. See page 129.

Print is too light, or printed images 
or characters have voids or 
dropouts.

Make sure you’re using recommended paper or other media. Use media from a 
new package.

Make sure you have selected the correct Paper Type setting for the media you’re 
using.

Make sure the affected print unit is completely installed in the printer.

Set Toner Saver Off from the Color Menu.

Clean the LEDs. See page 126 for more information.

If you suspect a toner cartridge is low on toner, remove the appropriate print unit 
and gently shake it back-and-forth to distribute the toner evenly. Reinsert the 
print unit and try printing the job again.

Replace the affected toner cartridge. See page 89. 

Replace the photoconductors. If only black print appears light, you can replace 
just the black photoconductor. If one of the colors prints too light, replace all 
three of the color photoconductors. See page 94 for more information.
