If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page:

•The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. See “Redistributing the Toner” on page 6.2. If this does not improve the print quality, install a new toner cartridge.

•The paper may not meet paper specifications (for example, the paper is too moist or too rough). See “Paper Specifications” on page A.2.

•If the whole page is light, the print resolution setting is too light or Toner Save Mode may be on. Adjust the print resolution and Toner Save Mode within the printer properties. See page 5.6 and 5.12 respectively.

•A combination of faded and smeared defects may indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. See “Cleaning the Printer” on page 6.4.

•The surface of the LSU part inside the printer may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See “Cleaning the Printer”.
