ADF & scanner print quality
Note: Get a printout as a base, and then follow the symptom table to identify the possible failing FRU.

Vertical stripes—
•
Spots— "Spots (using flatbed scanner)" on page

case, measure the interval on the print test, and check the relation to the roll in the printer. The interval does not
necessarily match circumference of the roll.
