Solving Print Quality Problems

Dirt inside of the printer or improper paper loading may reduce
print quality. See the table below to troubleshoot the problem.
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" on
page 6.5. If this does not improve 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" on page E.4.
• A combination of faded or smeared defects may indicate that
the printer needs cleaning. See page 6.30.
• The surface of the LSU may be dirty. Clean the LSU. See
page 6.29.
• The paper may not meet specifications (for example, the
paper is too moist or too rough). See "Paper Specifications" on
page E.4.
• The transfer roller or the paper path may be dirty. See
"Cleaning the Inside of the Printer" on page 6.30.
If generally rounded, faded areas occur randomly on the page:
• A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try reprinting the
job.
• The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the paper has
moist spots on its surface. Try a different brand of paper. See
"Paper Specifications" on page E.4.
• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing process can cause
some areas to reject toner. Try a different kind or brand of
paper.
• The toner cartridge may be defective. See "Vertical repetitive
defects" on the next page.
• If these steps do not correct the problems, contact a service
representative.
