This defect typically occurs when the print cartridge has far exceeded its rated life. For example, if you are printing a very large quantity of pages with very little toner coverage.

1.Perform a half self-test functional check. If the drum is damaged, replace the print cartridge.

2.Run a cleaning page. If the image defect persists, replace the fuser. (See Fuser on page 83.)

3.If the image defect persists, check the device for other sources of contamination or damage in the paper path and clean or replace parts as necessary.

NOTE This type of image defect might also be a repetitive defect. See Repeating defects on page 183.
