• The supply roller of the toner cartridge contacts the developing roller and is thereby
deformed during a long period of shelf time.
• If a photo image or a solid image is printed after the supply roller is deformed, faint lines
can at times occur at a pitch of 24 mm in the main scanning direction.
• The image refresh mode is made available to lessen this phenomenon.
