CLEANING THE LASER UNIT

When the laser unit inside the machine becomes dirty, line patterns (coloured lines) may form in the printed image.
Identifying lines (coloured lines) caused by a dirty laser unit
• Coloured lines always appear in the same place. (The lines are never black.)

• Coloured lines appear not only on copies but also on print jobs from a computer. (The same lines appear on both
copies and print jobs.)
