The whole page is printed 
black.

Black Page

Clean the machine’s interior and the primary corona wire of the 
drum unit. (See Regular Maintenance, page 81  and Cleaning the 
Drum Unit, page 83.) Also, do not use heat-sensitive paper as it will 
cause this problem. After cleaning, if the printed pages are still 
black or the display shows CHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the 
drum unit with a new one. The drum unit may be damaged.

Nothing is printed on the 
page.

White page

Make sure that the toner cartridge is not empty. If the toner cartridge 
is empty, replace the toner cartridge. (See Replacing the Toner 
Cartridge, page 84.)

Printed pages are marked 
regular intervals.

Example of Regular Marking

Markings may disappear by themselves. Try copying at multiple 
pages to clear this problem. Markings may occur if the machine has 
not been used for a long time. A possible cause is that the surface of 
the drum is marked or damaged by excessive exposure to light. In 
this case, replace the drum unit with a new one.

Printed pages are blurred at 
the centre or at either edge.

Blurred Page

Certain environmental conditions such as humidity, high 
temperatures, etc. may cause this condition to occur. Make sure the 
machine is placed on a flat, horizontal surface. Remove the drum 
unit with the toner cartridge installed. Try rocking them from side 
to side. You may clear a blurred page by wiping the scanner window 
with a clean soft cloth. (See Regular Maintenance, page 81.) If a 
blurred page occurs after cleaning and the display shows CHANGE 
DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit with a new one.

Ghost images appear on 
printed page.

Ghost Images

Adjust the print conditions by changing the Print Density setting. 
(See Setting the Print Density, page 11.)—OR—Rough surfaces or 
thick media can cause a ghost image. Make sure you select the Paper 
Type that suits the paper in your paper type.  (See Paper Type, page 
18 and 22 and Media Type, page 32.)

The drum unit is a consumable and it is necessary to replace it periodically.
