Residual Image or Ghosting
There are faint, ghostly images
appearing on the page. The images may
be either from a previous page or from
the page currently being printed. The
printer displays no error code.
1.
Make sure that the paper you are
using is the correct type for the
printer and is correctly loaded in the
printer. From the front panel's
Information Pages
Paper Tips
2.
Make sure that the paper loaded in
the tray matches the paper type
selected on the printer's front panel.
3.
Ensure that genuine Xerox toner is
installed in the printer.
4.
If the problem continues, set the
paper type in the front panel to the
next lightest type of paper than
what you are using.
5.
If the colors are offset by only a small amount (10 mm maximum), then
calibration of the laser may be needed. This is mis-registration, not ghosting. Go
to "Image Mis-Registered on Paper" on page 5-26.
6.
If the ghosting is offset by 84 mm, run the Remove Print Smears routine to clean
the fuser. From the front panel's
Quality
Problems, then select
7.
Inspect and replace the fuser, if necessary.
Note
Some ghosting may appear on transparency film and is a limitation of the printer.
