Xerox printer producing faded documents

Issue

Xerox printer prints faded documents despite having sufficient toner. Other users get the correct saturation when printing to the same printer.

Environment

UO-managed macOS laptop

Description

Printer does not work with my laptop. When I enter the [accounting] number it prints but only lightly.

Resolution

This issue usually occurs when Toner Saver is accidentally toggled or toggled by default when adding a new printer.

  1. In the Word print dialog box, scroll down to the Printer Options drop-down menu and expand it
  2. Select the circled "i" next to Xerox Features
  3. It should bring up a window that is already in the Paper/Output category. Under Print Quality, make sure Enhanced or Standard is selected and not Toner Saver
  4. Submit the print job and verify the correct saturation has been achieved.

If you wish to save the new settings for future print jobs, you can save the settings as a printer preset (Apple Support).
