Suggested solutions
Light or faded print
If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the
page:
The toner supply is low. You may be able to
temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. See
"Redistributing Toner"
.
If this does not improve
the print quality,
install a new toner cartridge.
The paper may not meet paper specifications; for
example, the paper is too moist or too rough.
See
"Paper Specifications"
.
If the entire page is light,
the print resolution
setting is too low or the toner save mode is on.
Adjust the print resolution and turn the toner
save mode off. See
"Graphic Tab"
.
A combination of faded or smeared defects may
indicate that the toner cartridge needs cleaning.
See
"Cleaning the Interior"
.
The surface of the LSU part inside the printer
may be dirty. Clean the LSU (see
"Cleaning the
Interior"
