    MX-3110N Faded Prints, Copies Good

    I am a small business owner and recently acquired a used Sharp MX-3110N Copier. To test at the time of sale I made some Color photocopies which turned out great. Once Connected to my network sending color image prints to the machine yield a faded result. I can not locate a local service company that will work on this printer. Any advice is appreciated.

    Try printing out internal test charts.
    If the print quality is fine, then this could be a software issue. I would recommend you go ahead and do a clean install of the printer software.

    Here are outputs from just a copy on the glass, as well as scanned in and printed from windows image viewer as well as printed by dropping the file directly into printer ftp directory

    The scanned image looks good on pc

    Hmm I'm thinking maybe in the print driver you have something like Toner Save set to ON? Just a guess...

    Printing using a multitude of drivers. All results are nearly identical

    Drivers Acquired from Sharp Website

    WSD
    PCL6
    PPD
    PS

    Corrrect me if I am wrong but wouldnt printing from the Sharps internal FTP (drag and drop file directly to sharp) eliminate the trouble shooting from the software side as well?

    That is partially why i did not address the print driver
