SOLVING PROBLEMS 7.17

Vertical repetitive

defects

If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page

at even intervals:

• The toner cartridge may be damaged. If a repetitive mark

occurs on the page, print a cleaning sheet several times to

clean the cartridge; see page 6.9. After the printout, if

you still have the same problems, install a new toner

cartridge. See “Installing the Toner Cartridge” on

page 2.4.

• Parts of the printer may have toner on them. If the defects

occur on the back of the page, the problem will likely

correct itself after a few more pages.

• The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a service

representative.

Background

scatter

Background scatter results from bits of toner distributed on

the printed page.

• 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 the printer properties.

Misformed

characters • If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow

images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different

paper. See “Paper Specifications” on page G.3.

• If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy

effect, the scanner unit may need service. Verify that it

also occurs on a demo page (see page 2.14). For service,

contact a service representative.

Page skew

• Check the paper type and quality. See “Paper

Specifications” on page G.3.

• Ensure that the paper or other material is loaded correctly

and the guides are not too tight or too loose against the

paper stack.
