Unsharpness - Kyocera FS-1800 Service Manual

(7) Unsharpness

Check paper for property.
• Paper with rugged surface or dump tends to cause unsharp printing. Replace paper with the one
that satisfies the paper specifications.
Check the transfer roller installation.
• The transfer roller must be supported by the bushes at the both ends. Clean the bush to remove oil
and debris. Replace the transfer roller if necessary. See page 5-17.
Check the transfer bias potential.
• Check the transfer bias output on the high voltage unit. This requires removal of the left cover and
the test equipment. Replace the high voltage unit if high voltage potential is not available on the
board. See page 5-25.
Check EcoPrint setting.
• The EcoPrint mode can provides faint, unsharp printing because it acts to conserve toner for draft
printing purpose. For normal printing, turn the EcoPrint mode off by using the operator panel. For
details refer to the printer's User's Manual.
