To avoid getting dirty background prints when printing onto paper smaller than the original image, select a suitable reduction ratio or use larger print paper.
When printing onto paper that does not absorb ink well, like postcards, the background of prints might be dirty. In this case, lower the printing speed or use Skip Feed mode to dry the ink on the prints.
The drum unit is locked if the security mode is active. See Security .
