IQ30 Repeating Print Defects
This RAP addresses image quality problems associated with the Print Engine. Repeating
defects typically result from dirt, debris, or damage to an imaging component. The interval
between the defect can reveal the affected component. A repeating defect can appear as fol-
lows:

Initial Actions
1.
Check that supported media is being used.
2.
Print several test prints as a sample.
3.
Measure the interval between defects and note their position.
Procedure
IQ31 White Stripes (Pinstripes)
