Problem
Cause
Solution
An image that appears at the top of the
page (in solid black) repeats farther
down the page (in a gray field).
Software settings might affect image
printing.
In your software program, change the
tone (darkness) of the field in which the
repeated image appears.
In your software program, rotate the
whole page 180° to print the lighter
image first.
The order of images printed might affect
printing.
Change the order in which the images
are printed. For example, have the lighter
image at the top of the page, and the
darker image farther down the page.
A power surge might have affected the
product.
If the defect occurs later in a print job,
turn the product off for 10 minutes, and
then turn on the product to restart the
print job.
Use non-glossy media to help reduce the
severity of the defect
