Condition Toner smear Suggested solutions • Clean the inside of the machine. See "Cleaning the Inside" on page 8.3. • Check the paper type and quality. See "Paper Specifications" on page C.6. • Remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See "Replacing the Toner Cartridge" on page 8.8. Vertical repetitive defects AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc AaBbCc If marks repeatedly appear on the printed side of the page at even intervals: • The toner cartridge may be damaged. If a repetitive mark occurs on the page, print a cleaning sheet several times to clean the cartridge; see "Cleaning the Drum" on page 8.11. After the printout, if you still have the same problems, remove the toner cartridge and install a new one. See "Replacing the Toner Cartridge" on page 8.8. • Parts of the machine may have toner on them. If the defects occur on the back of the page, the problem will likely correct itself after a few more pages. • The fusing assembly may be damaged. Contact a service representative. • If you use inferior quality paper;see "Cleaning the Drum" on page 8.11. Background scatter Background scatter results from bits of toner randomly distributed on the printed page. A • The paper may be too damp. Try printing with a different batch of paper. Do not open packages of paper until necessary so that the paper does not absorb too much moisture. • If background scatter occurs on an envelope, change the printing layout to avoid printing over areas that have overlapping seams on the reverse side. Printing on seams can cause problems. • If background scatter covers the entire surface area of a printed page, adjust the print resolution through your 9 software application or the printer properties. Misformed characters • If characters are improperly formed and producing hollow images, the paper stock may be too slick. Try a different paper. See "Paper Specifications" on page C.6. • If characters are improperly formed and producing a wavy effect, the scanner unit may need service. For service, contact a service representative.
