Specks

Specks might appear on a page after a jam has been cleared.

Print a few more pages to see if the problem corrects itself.

If specks occur frequently, set your MFP up to automatically run a cleaning page (see

Using

the MFP cleaning page

).

Clean the inside of the MFP and run a manual cleaning page to clean the fuser (see

Cleaning the MFP

and

Using the MFP cleaning page

).

Try using a different type of paper.

Check for print cartridge leaks. If the print cartridge is leaking, replace it.

Dropouts

Environmental specifications

).

If the paper is rough and the toner easily rubs off, either try changing the fuser mode to
High 1 or High 2, or try using a smoother paper.

Try using a different paper type.
