How do I fix smearing or streaking on my printed documents?


  1. Inspect your printer – check if the toner cartridge needs replacing or if it's been installed correctly.
  2. Clean the machine – dust and foreign materials may interfere with print quality. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning your printer.
  3. Check the paper – make sure the paper is suitable for your printer and matches the specifications indicated by the manufacturer.
  4. Change the printer settings – adjust the contrast, brightness, and other preferences as needed
  5. Always use document settings – when printing a document, make sure you select that document's specific settings rather than opting for the default settings.
