Warning: A blank page that should have toner on it could be an
indication that toner is applied to the ITU belt but not transferred.
Therefore the toner goes into the ITU cleaner which cannot
process massive amounts of toner. It is important to prevent
extensive blank pages from being processed if they should have
toner on them.
• Increase the Print Timeout value on the operator panel
(Settings–>General Settings–>Timeouts–>Print Timeout.)
