If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the page:
• The toner supply is low. You may be able to temporarily
extend the toner cartridge life. See "Redistributing the
Toner" on page 6.2. If this does not improve the print
quality, install a new toner cartridge.
• The paper may not meet paper specifications (for example,
the paper is too moist or too rough). See "Paper
Specifications" on page
• If the whole page is light, the print resolution setting is too
light or Toner Save Mode may be on. Adjust the print
resolution and darkness setting within the printer properties.
See page 5.6 and 5.18
• A combination of faded and smeared defects may indicate
that the toner cartridge needs cleaning. See "Cleaning the
Printer" on page 6.4.
