<Cause 5> Color registration errors may be slightly visible depending on the printed image, due to the laser printer's structural characteristics.
Laser printers are built with high-precision technology. Although color registration errors may be slightly visible depending on the printed image, this is due to the structural characteristics of the laser printer, and is normal.
Solution 1 | Adjust the color registration error. |
Solution 2 | Perform the following procedure in the printer driver. 1. | Display the [Quality] tab. | 2. | Click [Advanced Settings]. | 3. | Set [Gray Compensation] to [Off] |
