Black Lines and Smudges for Print

Click on the Machine: Maintenance. Choose Adjustment Settings for Skill Operators and then choose Execute Charger Cleaning. If there are still black lines or smudges, detach the charging unit and check the surface. Also, check if the drum surface is stained or scratched. If the surface is stained, contact your service representative or technician to install it properly or to replace it. 

Toner Spotting/Staining

This image quality problem may cause of 0.5 – 1mm toner spots. This may occur if you are printing on both sides of the paper, printing on rough textured paper, or printing a single-dot halftone image. To resolve this, you may do the following steps:

Make sure to pre-register the type of paper that you will be using. Click on the Paper Settings and see Registering a Custom Paper. Click on the Advanced Settings then choose Fusing Heat Roller Temperature Adjustment and increase the temperature to five degrees. If the problem is still not resolved then increase it again to another five degrees. If the changes above resulted in glossy lines or paper jam, decrease the temperature to 10 degrees. Click on Advanced Settings then set the Adjust Cleaning Web Motor Interval to 0.01. If there is no further improvement, it is best to contact your service representative or technicians.

Scratches or Streaks Appear on the Image / Horizontal White Bands

Scratches or streaks appear on the image may be caused by too high or too low paper feed speed of the exit monitor, switchback entrance, or switchback exit. Resolve the problem by following these steps:

Click on the Advanced Settings and adjust the paper feed speed for delivery. The paper feed speed depends on the type of printing. For one-sided printing, click on the Exit Motor Speed Adjustment and reduce the value to 0.1%. For duplex printing, click on the Switchback Entrance Feed Speed Adjustment and reduce the value to 0.1%. For one-sided printing but the delivery of the paper is inverted, click on Switchback Exit Feed Speed Adjustment and reduce the value to 0.1%. Print the image and check if the issue is resolved. If not, keep on decreasing the value by 0.1%. If the problem persists, contact your service representative or technicians.

Horizontal White Bands appear on the paper when you print it due to the static electricity produced by the friction between the conveyor belt and the paper when you use a synthetic paper or the transparent film is used. To solve this, all you have to do is go to the Advanced Settings then increase the value in Paper Transfer Current Setting Side 1 or paper Transfer Setting: Side 2 by -20µA. For example, if it is currently -100 µA change it to -120 µA.
