Troubleshooting
n
Partial Images or Image Too Small
Check the imageable regions for the size media you are using
(see chapter 2, “Printing”). Are you trying to print outside of the
imageable region of the page? If so, change to a larger size
media, or adjust the margin(s) through your application.
The charger unit or various roller and plates may be dirty. See
chapter 3, “Maintenance,” for instructions on how to clean these
parts.

Transparency Quality Problems
Make sure the printer is set for transparency printing: use the
Media key on the printer's control panel to tell the printer trans-
parencies are in the currently selected cassette. See chapter 1,
“Printer Configuration,” in the reference guide for information on
using the control panel.
Make sure the transparency stock is in good shape and meets all
the specifications in chapter 2, “Printing.”

Vertical Streaking
Vertical streaks in printouts usually indicate a problem with the
OPC belt. If you see vertical streaks, try the procedures below
(see chapter 3, “Maintenance,” for illustrations of these proce-
dures):
▲
Caution:
The OPC belt is extremely sensitive to bright lights and
direct sunlight. Limit exposure to light to under 2 minutes. Also,
handle the OPC belt carefully, using either the two green side-
handles or using the green end-handle when possible. Only set it
down on a clean, lint- and dirt-free surface, such as on fresh
paper.
a
Reset the OPC belt cartridge: open the manual-feed tray and
pull the OPC towards you about 4” (10 cm) and reseat it.
Repeat this twice. Print a page to see if this solved the
streaking problem.
