                  Depends on the application you are using, and if you have any color profiles installed.
                  Color matching with Pantone RGB profiles will help.

                          Buy the manual and learn how to adjust the colors, per what the fixer said. Do multiple calibrations. Make sure you are using either all OEM or all third party toner. Do not mix and match. OEM will traditionally give you brighter colors. Make sure laser scanners are clean. I am assuming you are a tech. If you are not, I would recommend that you give one a call if changing the cartridges to all OEM doesn't work.
                          Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".

                              Just to throw a monkey wrench into this discussion:

                              Your monitor is additive color (RGB). The printer uses subtractive color (CMYK). The difference is that additive color is a light source, and subtractive color reflects light.

                              When someone invents electric light producing paper, your monitor can look exactly like your print. In the meantime, it's a conversion, a compromise. Subtractive color has a much smaller color gamut than additive color, meaning that it can produce less colors with the print process.

                              There are color profiles available to adjust the output of your monitor to more closely match the output of your printer. Again, the monitor is still additive color and the print is still subtractive color. Additive color (your monitor) will always be brighter and bolder because it is a light source. Subtractive color (print process) is not a light source, it reflects existing light, so it will not be as bright.

                              You're comparing apples and oranges. =^..^=
                              If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
                              1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
                              2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
                              3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
                              4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
                              5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

                                  Right on bk! If a true vibrancy of color is a must, then try a Xerox solid ink printer.
                                  HP's ColorSphere toners are washy, and the Vivera inks are expensive, but nicer.
                                  The scanner can be taken apart and clened on all four mirrors. Use a light to see the smudges and clean with a dry swab only!
