    Ricoh MPC-2500 Prints by low quality

    I have an MPC 2500 for assistance in copying that has a good quality, while printing from images and photo files are poorly defined, the lines blurred and getting worse towards the center going to lighten. I clean, I did the calibration and color adjustment without results. I have the latest firmware installed. What could I check? Thank you.

    Toner saving isn't on in the driver is it?
    It's 106 miles to Chicago. We've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

    Hit it.

        It will be much easier to understand exactly what you mean if you scan and upload a sample or 2.

            Why do they call it common sense?

            If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

              I have attached the original file and printed, as more test print color.

                  Test chart looks ok, second image looks like a very poor resolution scan of the first. I think you scanned at lower resolution an image of an already poor resolution digital image and that is the result. What are other printed photos like ? Did you do the ACC for the higher resolutions or just the 600x600 ?

                    You've done acc also high resolution. The first image is the original file, the second printout from the poor photo quality. The copy scanned and printed from memory is good
