4.4.11 POOR FUSING ON 100g/m2 PAPER
SYMPTOM:
Streaks are visible on the glossy image printed with full coverage. Visible level of
streaks differs according to the lighting angle. The streaks can be classified
following 3 types.
1. Type A:
Streaks, whose width is equal to the fusing separation pawls (6 mm), in the
paper feeding direction corresponding to the fusing separation pawls position.
This symptom occurs especially on the solid image on the Thick paper.
2. Type B:
Very sharp lines (the width is less than 0.5 mm) in the paper feeding direction
corresponding in position to the fusing separation pawls. This is also visible
especially on the Thick paper.
3. Type C:
The streaks (the width is 1 through 2 mm) are in the same position as the edge
of the previous paper size used. Type C occurs when you make 500–1000 prints
with the same size/direction, and then change to a wider paper size.
Example: Make 1000 prints with A4 SEF, and then change to A4 LEF.
