ADF & scanner print quality
Note: Get a printout as a base, and then follow the symptom table to identify the possible failing FRU.
Image quality symptoms:
•
Dark print — “Dark image quality (using ADF or Scanner)” on page 2-11 .
•
Vertical stripes— “Vertical lines (process direction using the ADF)” on page 2-12 .
•
Spots— “Spots (using flatbed scanner)” on page 2-12 .
•
Skew— “Skew (using ADF)” on page 2-14 .
•
Media damage— “Media damage (using ADF)” on page 2-15 .
Note: When horizontal lines and/or spots occur periodically, it is possibly caused by a particular roll. In this
case, measure the interval on the print test, and check the relation to the roll in the printer. The interval does not
necessarily match circumference of the roll.
