Image Quality
Xerox Internal Use Only - Revised, 3rd Revision
IQ3 Predominant Light Stripes, Scratches or Marks Down
the Print or Parallel to the Long Axis of Printing
Predominant light stripes typically result from something scraping the image off the Drum
before Transfixing. All 4 colors missing on the test page or output indicate a predominant white
stripe condition. Scratches or marks typically result from debris in the paper path that damages
the paper or image. Some burnish marks from the flag or paper path is normal.
Initial Actions
1.
Check that supported media is being used.
2.
Check for any debris or jammed media in the exit path.
3.
Print the Light Stripes Test print (Control Panel Menu -> Troubleshooting -> Print
Quality Problems -> Eliminate Light Stripes -> Light Stripes Test).
NOTE: If there are a series of regularly spaced white lines approximately 0.7 mm (0.03 in.)
apart, see
IQ17
- White Stripes (Pinstripes).
