the toner.
Check to make sure that the laser light path is not blocked.

Do not touch the transfer roll except at its ends. Place a sheet of paper over the roll to
prevent damage from finger oils or hand lotion.
Check the springs in the left and right transfer roll bearings. The bearing assemblies should

Replace the transfer roll assembly if the springs or bearings show signs of damage, or
fatigue.
Inspect the transfer roll for signs of wear, damage or contamination.
Replace as necessary.
