Ghosting - Xerox Phaser 8400 Service Manual

Ghosting

Step Question and Actions
1 Occasionally, if the prints have been sitting atop one another, the pressure of the stack
and the heat of the printer can cause blocking. This has the appearance of ghosting.
Try printing the image(s) again without the prints stacking on each other in the output
tray.
2 Run multiple prints; the first 2-sided print will have the worst ghosting. Some transfix
roller ghosting is inherent to the printer; however, the prints should get better with
multiple prints.
3 Inspect the Maintenance Kit. Replace the Maintenance Kit if necessary.
4 Run Diagnostics to verify the drum maintenance system is operating correctly.
Replace the defective parts.
5 Ensure that the Drum Temperature Sensor is clean and properly positioned. Clean,
realign, or replace the sensor.
