Figure 7-5 Ink Smears From The Internal Paper Path - Tektronix Phaser 380 Service Manual

Cleaning for ink smears and transfix problems: internal paper path
If the prints have stray ink marks on the front or the back or the media is
wrapping around the transfix roller inside the exit cover, you can correct the
problem by cleaning the printer's internal paper path. The printer automatically
feeds 5 sheets of paper through the print path when you run the Clean:Ink
Smears routine from the front panel.
