Print quality service check

Note:

This symptom may require replacement of one or more CRUs (Customer Replaceable Units) designated

as supplies or maintenance items, which are the responsibility of the customer. With the customer's permission,

you may need to install an ITU, fuser assembly, second transfer roll, or print cartridge.

Check the following before proceeding with any of the print quality service checks.

•

Use tray 1 (internal tray) to test the print quality of the base printer.

•

Be sure the fuser assembly is installed correctly.

•

Be sure the ITU assembly is installed correctly.

•

Be sure the second transfer roll is installed correctly.

•

Check the media in tray 1 to make sure it meets paper specifications.

•

Run a copy of the CE Test page. This sets all the printer defaults to the correct settings to check for print

quality.

•

If a specific color has a print quality problem, first try a new cartridge to help isolate the problem.

An incorrect printer driver for the installed software can cause print quality problems. Incorrect characters could

print, and the copy may not fit the page correctly.

Note:

Some 201.xx Paper Jam errors can be caused by a faulty print cartridge.

If there is no image (blank page) and no error codes displayed, go to step 1.

•

If there is no image (blank page) but error codes are displayed, go to

“Service error code and paper jam

message table” on page 2-7

and perform the necessary action.

Step

Actions and questions

Yes

Second transfer roll—Make sure the second transfer

roll is installed correctly.

Is the second transfer roll correctly installed?

If a second

transfer roll is not

installed, install a

new one.

Go to step 2

second transfer roll release Lever is not stuck in the

down position. Check for broken or damaged parts.

Is the second transfer roll release lever operating

correctly?

Go to step 3

Repair as

necessary.

Check continuity of the second transfer roll to the

transfer HVPS cable.

Is there continuity?

Replace the
