SUGGESTIONS
Print Quality Difficulties (
Wipe the electric terminals referring to page 11-18.
Also, do not use heat-sensitive paper as it will
cause this problem. After cleaning, if the printed
pages are still black and the display shows
CHANGE DRUM SOON, replace the drum unit
with a new one.
Make sure that the toner cartridge is not empty.
Wipe the electric terminals. (See
Maintenance
11-18 and
Make sure that a torn piece of paper does not
remain on the scanner window.
Markings may disappear by themselves. Try copying
multiple pages to clear this problem. Markings may
occur if the FAX/MFC has not been used for a long
time. A possible cause is that the surface of the drum
is scratched. You must then replace the drum unit
with a new one. If the markings do not disappear, it
may be that the drum was marked or damaged by
excessive exposure to light. In this case, replace the
drum unit with a new one.
Certain environmental conditions such as humidity,
high temperatures, etc. may cause this condition to
occur. Make sure the FAX/MFC is placed on a flat,
horizontal surface. Remove the drum unit with the
toner cartridge installed. Try rocking them from side
to side. You may clear a blurred page by wiping the
scanner windows with a clean soft cloth. (See
Routine Maintenance
, page 11-18 and
Printer
page 11-19.) If a blurred page occurs after cleaning
and the display shows CHANGE DRUM SOON,
replace the drum unit with a new one.
Adjust the print conditions by setting the Print
Density function, page 5-5. Make sure that you use
paper that meets the specifications. Rough surfaces
or thick media can cause a ghost image.
