Text or Images Are Blurry

Troubleshoot by checking the following steps:

Step 1: Checking the Paper

Are You Using Appropriate Paper?
Check whether the paper in the machine is usable, and replace it with appropriate paper, as needed.
Usable Paper
Loading Paper
Is the Paper Stained According to the Paper Type or Usage Environment?
Setting [Correct Blurry Image] to [Mode 1] may solve the problem. If that does not work, try specifying [Mode 2], [Mode 3] and then [Mode 4] in sequence.
Touch Panel Model
[Home] screen on the control panel [Menu] [Adjustment/Maintenance] [Adjust Image Quality] [Special Processing] [Correct Blurry Image] select the mode
Black and White LCD Model
[Home] screen on the control panel [Menu]    [Adjustment/Maintenance]    [Adjust Image Quality]    [Special Processing]    [Correct Blurry Image]    select the mode  
* Enabling this setting may lower the print density or slow down printing. It may also make outlines less distinct or make them slightly rougher.

Step 2: Checking the Usage Environment of the Machine

Are You Using the Machine in an Environment with Sudden Temperature Changes?
Sudden temperature changes can create condensation, which can result in faded or blurry images and text. Setting [Control Condensation] to [On] may solve the problem.
Touch Panel Model
[Home] on the control panel [Menu] [Adjustment/Maintenance] [Maintenance] [Control Condensation] [On]
Black and White LCD Model
[Home] screen on the control panel  [Menu]    [Adjustment/Maintenance]    [Maintenance]    [Control Condensation]    [On]  
* During condensation removal, a blank sheet of paper may be output without being printed correctly. If you set this to [On], you can set whether to restrict printing.
* If you set this to [On], you must keep the machine ON to continuously remove the condensation. The Auto Shutdown Time setting is disabled.
Are You Using the Machine in an Environment with Low Humidity?
Setting [Low Humidity Mode] to [Mode 1] may solve the problem. If that does not work, specify [Mode 2].
Touch Panel Model
[Home] screen on the control panel [Menu] [Adjustment/Maintenance] [Adjust Image Quality] [Special Processing] [Low Humidity Mode]  [Mode 1] or [Mode 2]
Black and White LCD Model
[Home] screen on the control panel [Menu]    [Adjustment/Maintenance]    [Adjust Image Quality]    [Special Processing]    [Low Humidity Mode]    [Mode 1] or [Mode 2]  
* Enabling this setting may reduce the density or create fading in a humid environment.
