If the problem is not solved by specifying [Mode 2], specify [Mode 3].

- For UFR II Printer Driver: Display the [Advanced Settings] dialog box by clicking [Finishing Details] in the [Finishing] sheet, then clicking [Advanced Settings] in the [Finishing Details] dialog box.
- For PCL Printer Driver: Display the [Finishing Details] dialog box by clicking [Finishing Details] in the [Finishing] sheet.
IMPORTANT

[Usable Paper]
<Remedy 2>
If the problem is not solved by specifying MODE 2, specify MODE 3.
If the problem is not solved by specifying MODE 3, specify MODE 4.
IMPORTANT
- Resetting the setting to MODE 1 due to change in paper type or operating environment may also avoid vertical streaks appearing on the printed paper. In this case, specify MODE 1.
- Vertical streaks are alleviated by specifying MODE 2, MODE 3, or MODE 4. However, this decreases print density compared to when MODE 1 is specified. This may also make outlines appear to be blurred or slightly jagged.
NOTE
You can also specify the setting for SP.PRINT ADJ A in [Special Print Adjustment A] in the printer driver.
