printing high-coverage images onto coated paper.
[A]: Feed direction
Cause
Fused toner passes through the heat pipe rollers, and sticks to the surfaces of the rollers. When the
heat pipe roller slips, it chips off toner that has been fixed on the paper. The offset toner may get on
the paper again, depending on the paper type and the image being printed.
Description
Stains in the shape of horizontal streaks may appear
in the area 76mm from the trailing edge.
If the machine has been used for a long time, toner,
paper powder and foreign objects sticking to the
rollers may get on the side edges of the paper.
