Apple 12/640PS Faded areas or white voids appear on, Blotchy areas or ghost images appear on

Faded areas or white voids appear on the page.

If portions of the page are faded or are missing, try the following steps:

mUse different paper or transparency material.

mUse paper that has been in a sealed wrapper; paper that has been out for a long time may have too much moisture in it.

mRedistribute the toner in the cartridge (see “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” in Chapter 11).

mUse the Apple Printer Utility or LaserWriter Utility for Windows to change the print density to a darker level. (If you use a Mac OS computer, see “Setting the Print Density” in Chapter 2. If you use an IBM PC or compatible computer, see “Setting the Print Density” in Chapter 3.)

mReplace the toner cartridge (see “Replacing the Toner Cartridge” in Chapter 11).

Blotchy areas or ghost images appear on the page.

If there are blotchy areas within a gray area, or if you see ghosting of images within printed areas (particularly on the top few inches of the page), try the following step.

mPrint two or three more copies of your page; these problems often occur only on the first rotation of the photosensitive drum inside the printer.

The printer isn’t printing from the correct paper tray.

mCheck that the correct page size is selected in the Mac OS or Windows Page Setup dialog box.
