USER’S GUIDE

7–16

 White Spots

The printed page may have white spots in black text and graphics areas.
Make sure that you use paper or OHP films that meet specifications and
have the correct printing surface.

Fig. 7-12  White Spots

 Toner Scatter

If toner scatters around printed characters and stains the printed page,
clean the printer interior. 

See “Cleaning” in Chapter 6.

Fig. 7-13  Toner Scatter

If the same print problem occurs after cleaning, take any of the following
actions:
  • Make sure that you use paper, OHP films, or envelopes that meet

specifications.

  • Check for glue on the paper. Glue causes toner to scatter.
  • If toner scatters over the entire printing surface, adjust the print 

density. 

See “Checking the Printed Test Pattern or Font List” in Chapter 2.
