Recommendation
If the problem is not solved after printing a few pages, the drum
unit may have glue from label stock on the OPC drum surface.
Clean the drum unit as follows
1. Position the print sample in front of the drum unit, and find
the exact position of the image defect.

cotton swab until the dust or paper powder on the surface
comes off.
