Canon ImageClass MF 6550 prints light text

Our copier/printer seems to print fine directly from the printer, and does ok with copying pictures/clip art. But when it comes to an all text document, it copies very lightly, and gets lighter with each copy. (For example, one copy is light, but when doing 30, the last one is barely visable.) I talked with Canon, and tried to adjust settings. Nothing worked. They say it is the toner. But it copies pictures ok. Any ideas or suggestions?

    Yes, we have tried several different toners and they all do the same thing.

  • jessi255 Apr 27, 2009

    no - it is only noticable with text only documents. Does anyone know how to reset the machine to factory settings?

    When you press copy then "image quality" button and select "photo" and scan text and a photo does the text still look light?

    Have you replaced the toner?

I mean can you scan a text document with the "photo" option and see if you are still encountering problem. And check this out, he tells how to reset to factory and test scanner. http://www.fixya.com/support/t342579-just_started_printing_blank_pages

Try printing a test page. Is it also blank? If so, you should check your ink system (cartridges full, etc.)

How come my Canon ImageClass MF4122 printer gives fuzzy images?

That is best bet since it appears that your print head is fubar and Canon charges a fortune for them. Cheaper to get a new printer with warranty.
