The toner cartridge imaging circuity or the cleaning system may be damaged.

4.Call your service technician.

This image quality problem may be caused by a malfunctioning or broken component that requires service.

•The control panel does not display an error code.

The following procedure guides you through multiple actions that may solve this print image quality problem. Proceed one step at a time until the problem is solved—you may not need to complete the entire procedure. If one of the steps in this procedure corrects the problem but the identical problem returns in less than 50 prints, call for service.

1.Remove the toner cartridge from the printer, then reinstall it making sure it is securely seated inside the printer.

The toner cartridge may be seated incorrectly. Through use and vibration, the toner cartridge may have disconnected from the electrical contacts inside the printer. Reinstalling the toner cartridge should reestablish a good electrical connection.

2.Disconnect then reconnect the interface cable that runs between the printer and the host computer.

There may be a bad connection between the printer and the computer. Reconnecting both ends should reestablish a good electrical connection. If you have another interface cable avail- able, substitute that cable for the one currently connecting the printer and the computer.

3.Reinstall the print driver software located in the DRIVERS folder on the Electronic Library CD-ROM.

The print driver software running on the host computer may be corrupted. Reinstalling the software is an easy and inexpensive way to isolate or eliminate the source of the problem.
