Example of Regular

Marking

Markings may disappear by themselves. Try copying

multiple pages to clear this problem. Markings may

occur if the FAX/MFC has not been used for a long

time. A possible cause is that the surface of the drum

is scratched. You must then replace the drum unit

Certain environmental conditions such as humidity,

high temperatures, etc. may cause this condition to

occur.

Make sure the FAX/MFC is placed on a flat,

horizontal surface.

Remove the drum unit with the

toner cartridge installed. Try rocking them from side

to side.
