Streaked Horizontal Lines Appear On Prints - Lexmark x950 series User Manual

Troubleshooting
Check the paper type
•
Use only the recommended transparencies.
•
Ensure that the Paper Type setting matches what is loaded in the tray or feeder.
•
Ensure that the Paper Texture setting is correct for the type of paper or specialty media loaded in the
tray or feeder.
Make sure the print cartridge is not low on toner
When 88.xx [color] cartridge low appears, make sure the toner is distributed evenly within the
print cartridge:
1
Remove the print cartridge.
Warning—Potential Damage: Be careful not to touch the photoconductor drum. Doing so may
affect the print quality of future print jobs.
2
Firmly shake the cartridge side-to-side and front-to-back several times to redistribute the toner.
3
Reinsert the print cartridge.
If the problem continues, the printer may need to be serviced. For more information, contact Customer
Support.
