Clean the machine’s interior and the primary corona wire of drum

unit. (See

Regular Maintenance

, page 128 and

home position. If after cleaning, you still see dark stripes or toner

stains and the display shows

, replace the

drum unit with a new one.

Printed pages have white

spots in black text and

graphic areas.

White Spots

Make sure that you use paper that meets the specifications. (See

Acceptable Paper

, page 64.) Rough surface or thick media can

cause the problem. If you still see white spots and the display shows

CHANGE DRUM SOON

specifications. (See

Acceptable Paper

, page 64.) If you still have

pages to clear this problem. Markings may occur if the machine has

not been used for a long time. A possible cause is that the surface of

the drum is marked or damaged by excessive exposure to light. In

this case, replace the drum unit with a new one.
