IT IS PRINTING WITH A REDDISH SHADOW BEHIND THE COLOUR THAT SHOULD BE PRINTED

I would check that the tension between your fusing rollers is ok as the toner will come off the paper and than return back to paper on its next revolution causing a faint image further down the page

simple. easy. you have 3 screen adjustments. red green blue. turn color all the way down. you should then get just a black and white picture, but in your case, it will still be reddish. behind the speaker grill is an access panel for screen adjustment. remove speaker grill. remove access panel. you will see a block assembly roughly 6 inches square with 6 knobs on it. 3 are for screen, 3 are for focus. adjust until you have a black and white picture. then go into menu and turn your color back up. enjoy!

You have one of two problems. Either your magenta cartridge is bad (which I suspect) or you have toner built up on your fusing assembly. More than likely, it's a bad toner cartridge (ESPECIALLY IF A REMANUFACTURED) as this printer is famous for having the wiper cleaning blades in the cartridges go bad. Try replacing the cartridge first. Hope that helps you. :)

Dear friend, your Black Ink Cartridge is Empty thats why your printer is using the Colour Cartridge to produce the Black Colour. This is the reason you are having Dark Reddish Brown colour instead of Black.

Try cleaning the contacts in the printer and cartrage.

What printer is it ? Some older ones need manual calibration, where patterns are printed, then you tell the system which is the best one. Newer ones can self calibrate, but still need it done. Go into your printers menu and see if you can find something on calibration or allignment.

Yes, if you have a photo editing program, like googles free Picassa. You can change the text all kinds of ways from the basics to the shadow directions. There are all sorts of fonts and colors, look in your programs, the chances are that you have a photo editing program. Most of them if not all, have the features to allow experimenting. I just did a similar thing on an old document where I scrolled until finding the almost perfect text, and then was able to fade it and change the shape and texture to look like the original text. Good luck

I had similar problems when I first installed the printer and after different tests we found out that the Magenta ink print head was faulty. Changed head to a new one and problem solved. You will need to recalibrate and do paper set up's again.

one solution replace colour cartridge

Hi Carol, Are these print jobs being sent from a computer or the Xray machine itself or are you scanning them?
