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 ?$paratext>? on
page 8.5. If this does not improve the print quality,
install a new toner cartridge.
• The paper may not meet paper specifications; for
example, the paper is too moist or too rough. See
?$paratext>? on page 10.3.
• If the entire page is light, the print resolution setting is
too low or the toner save mode is on. Adjust the print
resolution and turn the toner save mode off. For
details, see Software User’s Guide and
?$paratext>? on page 2.11, respectively.
• A combination of faded or smeared defects may
indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. See
?$paratext>? on page 8.6.
• The surface of the LSU part inside the machine may be
dirty. Clean the LSU (?$paratext>? on page 8.2).
Contact a service representative.
Toner specs • The paper may not meet specifications; for example,
the paper is too moist or too rough. See ?$paratext>?
on page 10.3.
• The transfer roller may be dirty. Clean the inside of
your machine. See ?$paratext>? on page 8.2.
• The paper path may need cleaning. See ?$paratext>?
on page 8.6.
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 ?$paratext>? on page 10.3.
• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing processes can
cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or
brand of paper.
• The toner cartridge may be defective. See
?$paratext>? on page 9.9.
• If these steps do not correct the problem, contact a
service representative.
