Copy Image Problems

If copies appear either too dark or too light and you can not get a clear copy, refer to the guidelines below.

If Light Bands/ White Streaks Appear on Copies

This most often happens when the cartridge toner is low or not evenly distributed in the cartridge. To help distribute the toner in the cartridge, remove it from the copier and rock it several times to the left and right at a 90˚ angle. If the white streaking continues then replace the cartridge with a new one.

(See “Replacing Cartridges”, on p. 21.)
