After image (ghosting) Leading edge 5058-030 Previous Next Go Back Trailing edge The ghost appears on the media which, may be the image from the previous page or part of the page currently printing. Step Check 1 Check the media condition. Load new, dry, recommended media. Reprint the defective image. Does the problem remain? 2 Check the four toner cartridges for proper installation. Reprint the defective image. Is the image density normal? 3 Check the heat belt and pressure roll in the fuser assembly for scratches or defects. CAUTION: The fuser assembly might be hot. Allow the fuser assembly to cool. Remove the fuser assembly. Is there contamination or cracks on the heat belt and/or pressure roll? 4 Check the upper printer engine PCBA for proper connectivity. Disconnect and reconnect all appropriate cables. Replace the upper printer engine PCBA. Go to "Upper printer engine PCBA removal" on page 4-181. Perform a print test. Go to "PRINT TESTS" on page 3-22. Does the problem remain? Yes Go to step 2. No Problem resolved Problem solved. Replace any empty toner cartridges. Replace the fuser assembly. Go to "Fuser assembly removal" on page 4-78. Go to step 4. Replace the RIP PCBA. Go to "RIP PCBA removal" on page 4-144. Problem resolved Diagnostic information 2-229
