Problem

Cause and Solution

(Repetitive defects,

Repeating spots or specks of the same size and shape

continued)

appear on almost all pages in the same area of the

 

page. The repeating defects will generally be dark gray

 

or black. If the defect is not acceptable, cleaning or

 

replacing the imaging drum or the transfer drum might

 

be necessary. If the defect occurs one or more times on

 

each letter- or A4-sized page, the imaging drum should

 

be replaced. If the defect occurs on every other letter-

 

or A4-sized page, then the transfer drum should be

 

cleaned. For information on cleaning the transfer drum,

 

see “Cleaning the Transfer Drum” later in this chapter. If

 

cleaning the transfer drum does not correct the

 

problem, replace the transfer drum or contact a local

 

authorized HP dealer or service representative for

 

service. For more information on replacing the imaging

 

drum or the transfer drum, see the installation guide

 

included with the drum kit or transfer kit.

 

Unwanted marks of the same size and shape appear

 

more than once in the same vertical area on

 

transparencies only. The fuser roller is damaged.

 

Replace the fuser. For more information on replacing

 

the fuser, see the installation guide included with the

 

fuser kit.

Irregular wavy patterns

Irregular wavy patterns in solid fill backgrounds might

 

indicate that the transfer charger needs to be cleaned.
