Color Misregistration

When two colors do not register properly, it may indicate problems with the Belt Cartridge.

Solutions

Confirm that the Belt Cartridge is properly seated.

Replace the Belt Cartridge if it is worn or damaged.

Call a service representative to check the printer to replace the Cleaning Brush if necessary.

Toner Streak

When toner is streaked or brushed across the page, it may indicate problems with the Toner Module.

Solutions

Remove Toner Modules and rock them to the left and right to redistribute toner.

Confirm that Toner Modules are installed properly.

Replace low or damaged Toner Modules.

Mottled Image

There is variation or mottling in the density of the image.

Solution

Call a service representative to check the printer.

Shadowing

A residual image of a preceding page appears on subsequent pages.

Solution

Call a service representative to check the printer.

Insufficient Gloss

When the printed image appears dull, it may indicate a problem with the Fuser Cleaning Roller or Fuser Unit.

Solutions

Replace the Fuser Cleaning Roller (see page 75).

Replace the Fuser Unit if getting to end of life (see page 79).

Back of Paper is Stained

There are toner stains on the back side of the paper.

Solution

Paper containing unfused ink may have been pulled up through the Fuser Rollers, probably after a paper jam. (Most paper jams are best removed from the back of the printer.) Run several sheets of plain paper through the printer to clean these rollers.

If problem persists call a service representative to check the printer.

Missing Print

A blank page is printed or a specific color is missing.

Solution

Make sure all Toner Modules are installed correctly.

Call a service representative to check the printer.

Partial Printing

When an image is partially printed, it may indicate improper fusing.

Solutions

Use only recommended paper.

Make sure that the correct Media Type is selected on the Operator Panel.

Replace the Fuser Unit if it is at the end of its life.
