Possible Cause
Recommended Action
1. Paper surface too rough.
Toner migrates to low
spots, leaving higher areas void.
Use paper with correct finish (smoothness)
meeting HP specifications (see
HP LaserJet
Printer Family Paper Specifications Guide
).
2. Printing on wrong side of paper.
The label on the
ream of paper indicates which side to print on.
The
different surface properties of some papers may
cause problems if loaded wrong side up.
Check for the arrow on the paper wrapper.
Be
sure paper is loaded with the
arrow pointing UP
in the paper cassettes, or
arrow pointing DOWN
in the MP Tray.
3. Paper surface too smooth for proper toner
adhesion.
Use paper with correct finish (smoothness)
meeting HP specifications (see
HP LaserJet
Printer Family Paper Specifications Guide
).
4. Bad transparencies.
Transparencies can have
this problem because they are not designed for
proper toner adhesion.
Use Hewlett-Packard approved transparencies
(see
HP LaserJet Printer Family Paper
Specifications Guide
).
5. Bad Transfer Roller.
If the Transfer Roller has
finger oils on its surface, is dirty or is worn-out,
this problem can result.
Clean the Transfer Roller using a
dry, lint-free
cloth
.
DO NOT touch the Transfer Roller with
your fingers.
If the problem persists, replace the
Transfer Roller Assembly.
