Condition Possible cause Suggested solutions
Printing quality problems
If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly,
you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear
the problem.
Condition Suggested solutions
Light or faded
print
If a vertical white streak or faded area appears
on the page:
• The toner supply is low. You may be able to
temporarily extend the toner cartridge life.
See page 13.4. If this does not improve the
print quality, install a new toner cartridge.
• The paper may not meet paper
specifications; for example, the paper is too
moist or too rough. See page 5.2.
• If the entire page is light, the print resolution
setting is too low. Adjust the print resolution.
See the help screen of the printer driver.
• A combination of faded or smeared defects
may indicate that the toner cartridge needs
cleaning.
• The surface of the LSU part inside the
machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See
page 13.2.
Toner specks • The paper may not meet specifications; for
example, the paper is too moist or too
rough. See page 5.2.
• The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the
inside of your machine. See page 13.2.
• The paper path may need cleaning. See
page 13.2.
Dropouts
If faded areas, generally rounded, occur
randomly on the page:
• A single sheet of paper may be defective.
Try reprinting the job.
• The moisture content of the paper is uneven
or the paper has moist spots on its surface.
Try a different brand of paper. See page 5.2.
• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing
processes can cause some areas to reject
toner. Try a different kind or brand of paper.
• Change the printer option and try again. Go
to printer properties, click
Paper
tab, and
set type to
Thick
. Refer to the
Software
Section
for details.
• If these steps do not correct the problem,
contact a service representative.
