White Spots		White spots appears on the page:
		• The paper is too rough and a lot of dirt from
		a paper falls to the inner devices within the
		machine, so the transfer roller may be dirty.

		the multi-purpose tray" on page96) Contact
		a service representative.
		• The paper path may need cleaning.
		Contact a service representative.
Vertical lines		If black vertical streaks appear on the page:
		• The surface(drum part) of the imaging unit

		• The surface of the LSU part inside the
		machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU.
		Contact a service representative.

background		unacceptable:
		• Change to a lighter weight paper. (See "In
		the multi-purpose tray" on page96)
		• Check the environmental conditions: very
		dry conditions (low humidity) or a high level
		of humidity (higher than 80% RH) can
		increase the amount of background
		shading.

		install a new one. (See "In the multi-
		purpose tray" on page96)

Background scatter Background scatter results from bits of toner
		randomly distributed on the printed page.
	A	• The paper may be too damp. Try printing
		with a different batch of paper. Do not open
		packages of paper until necessary so that
		the paper does not absorb too much
		moisture.
		• If background scatter occurs on an
		envelope, change the printing layout to
		avoid printing over areas that have
		overlapping seams on the reverse side.
		Printing on seams can cause problems.

•If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your software application or in printer properties.

Misformed	• If characters are improperly formed and
characters	producing hollow images, the paper stock
	may be too slick. Try different paper. (See
	"In the multi-purpose tray" on page96)

	producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit
	may need service. Contact a service
	representative.
