Smeared image

[Cause]
Excess toner is transferred on the paper that causes toner collapse at the time of fixing, which
can generate smeared image on the image. The following are assumed causes of smeared
image:
• When the paper type is changed
• Toner deterioration
• Rapid change in environment (High temperature <- -> Low temperature)

Side Line
Smeared image may also occur exclusively in the area 5 to 10 mm from the leading edge of
the paper when there is burr on the leading edge of the paper (jagged edge formed when the
paper was cut by a cutter).
It is caused by toner being pushed backward by the power of the ETB, which is pushed down
by the burr when it passes through the transfer nips, to go back to the original position.
