Diagnosing copy quality defects
How to diagnose the copy quality defects
Issue description
- It is hard to determine whether the print quality issue is related to the printer or scanner.
- The print quality test pages in the printer are not very useful for detecting/judging scanner quality issues.
- The copy function may remove colors or lighten them up due to copy settings like background removal and content type.
Solution
- To start with the troubleshooting, print off and copy/scan the set of copy quality test pages.
- This duplex page was generated to help determine if the ADF or flatbed scanner is functioning properly to avoid any type of service.
- Some copy issues can be fixed by cleaning the glass on the ADF or flatbed scanner as well as changing the copy settings to improve the output.
