If the problem continues, then install a new toner cartridge.

 

Recheck condition before replacing PC Kit, if necessary.

 

 

 

Check the transfer roll for signs of toner buildup and contamination.

 

Inspect the HVPS contact (transfer roll) for contamination.

 

Verify the high voltage cable is plugged into the LVPS/HVPS.

 

If all components appear free of contamination, then replace the following FRUs one at a

Transfer roll

A transfer roll contaminated with toner can cause toner to transfer to the back of pages.

 

Inspect the transfer roll for contamination and its cable for continuity.

 

 

HVPS or controller

Loss of the proper high voltages can cause excessive toner to contaminate the transfer
