SMUDGES APPEAR ON PRINTED OUTPUT

Check Solution

Are you using paper that is not within

the specifications?

■ Use SHARP-recommended paper.

Using paper that is for other models or special paper that is not supported may

result in misfeeds, creases, or smudges.

 - "SUPPLIES" in Start Guide

■ Try setting the paper type to a type that is slightly heavier or slightly lighter than

normal. (For plain paper, switch plain paper 1 to plain paper 2 or plain paper 2 to

plain paper 1.) Depending on the paper type, print quality may be improved. For

details, contact your dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department.

Are you printing on pre-punched

paper?

■ Take care that the image does not overlap the punch holes.

If the printed image overlaps the punch holes, smudges may appear on the

reverse side of the paper following 1-sided printing, or on both sides following

2-sided printing.

Does a message appear indicating the

need for maintenance?

■ Contact your dealer or nearest SHARP Service Department as soon as possible.

Remove the paper, turn it over, and

reload it. Using a different paper type

may solve the problem.

■ This may improve some states of paper curling.

Check Solution

Has the paper type been set

correctly?

■ Set the correct paper type in the tray settings. Make sure that the following did

not occur:

• When using heavy paper, change the paper type in the tray settings to Heavy.

(The image may disappear if rubbed.)

• Paper other than heavy paper is being used, but heavy paper is selected in the

tray settings. (This may cause creases and misfeeds.)
