Check and Cause

Solution

1. Bad contacts caused by contamination

from toner particles between high voltage
terminal in the main body and the elec-
trode of the Toner cartridge.

2. Bad contacts caused by contamination

from toner particles between high voltage
terminal in the main body and the one in
the HVPS board.

3. The life of toner cartridge is expired.

4. Transfer roller life (60,000 sheets) has

expired.

5. Low ambient temperature (below 10°C).

6. Damaged cleaning blade in the toner

cartridge.

1 and 2. Clean all HV contacts, If problem
persists replace the HVPS.

If problem still persists replace the Main PBA

7.1.10 Ghost (2)

• Description

Ghost occurs at 75.5 mm intervals of the OPC drum in the whole printing.
(When printing on card stock or transparencies using manual feeder)

Digital Printer

75.5mm

Check and Cause

Solution

When printing on card stock, thicker than
normal paper or transparencies, such as
OHP, a higher transfer voltage is required.

Ensure that the correct paper type is selected
in the printer driver or application software.
Remember to set back to normal paper after
use.
