Cause and Solution

[Usable Paper]
Depending on the paper type or the operating environment (especially in a low-humidity environment), smudge marks of spattering toner may appear.
Perform the following procedure in the printer driver.
1. Display the [Finishing] sheet.
2. Click [Finishing Details], then click [Advanced Settings] in the [Finishing Details] dialog box.
3. Set [Special Print Mode] to [Special Settings 4].
If the problem is not solved by specifying [Special Settings 4], you may be able to solve it by specifying [Special Settings 8].
If this solves the problem, set [Special Print Mode] to [Off].
IMPORTANT
When using paper that has been stored in an environment high in temperature and humidity, do not specify [Special Settings 4]. This may result in deterioration in print quality.
