Check procedures/corrective measures
Print density setting. The print density may be set too high.
Try adjusting the print density. For details refer to the printer's
operation guide.
Defective drum surface potential. The drum surface potential
should be approximately 470±15 V. This may vary depending
on production lots. Measurement is possible only by using
the jig and tool specifically designed for this purpose. The
drum unit will have to be replaced if it bears values far out of
the allowable range.
Defective main charger grid. Clean the main charger grid.
Defective developing roller (in the developer unit).
If a developer unit which is known to work normally is avail-
able for check, replace the current developer unit in the
printer with the normal one. If the symptom disappears,
replace the developer unit with a new one (See page P.1-5-
6).
Check procedures/corrective measures
Toner contamination in various parts. Dirty edges and back of
the paper can be caused by toner accumulated on such parts
as the paper chute, paper transportation paths, the bottom of
the drum and developer, and the fuser unit inlet. Clean these
areas and parts to remove toner.
Defective transfer roller. If the transfer roller is contaminated
with toner, clean the transfer roller using a vacuum cleaner or
by continuously printing a low-density page until the symp-
tom has faded away.
Check procedures/corrective measures
Defective laser scanner unit. Defective polygon motor in the
laser scanner unit. Replace the laser scanner unit (See page
P.1-5-17).
Defective engine controller circuit in the engine/high voltage
PWB. Replace the engine/high voltage PWB (See page P.1-
5-14).
