Solution
Run the Fuser Cleaning procedure. At the control panel, touch Printer >
Tools > Troubleshooting > Resolve Problems > Smears, Smudges, and
Streaks > Start Cleaning. Several blank pages feed through the printer
to remove toner accumulated on the fuser.
If the problem persists, print the test pages to help determine which
component is causing the image-quality problem.
• If the defect occurs only in one color, replace the corresponding
imaging unit.
• If the defect occurs in all colors and is visible on all the test pages,
replace the fuser.
1. Print the Repeating Defects page to identify the part of the printer
causing the problem. At the control panel, touch Printer > Tools >
Troubleshooting > Resolve Problems > Repeating Spots or Lines >

2. Follow the instructions on the Repeating Defects page to identify the
part responsible for the repeating spots or lines.
3. Replace the printer part identified by the Repeating Defects page to
correct the problem.
