Troubleshooting Print Quality Problems To reduce possible print problems: ■ Maintain a stable temperature and relative humidity for the printer. ■ Use only the media recommended for this printer; see page 5. ■ Align the paper edge guides in the paper tray to fit the media. ■ Protect the imaging drum from prolonged exposure to direct light.
If the information provided in this section does not solve your print problem, refer to Getting Help on page 61. Print Defects and Potential Remedies Print Quality Problem Common Causes Background Smudges ■ Unwanted black and/or colored or shaded areas that appear on the page. ■ ■ ■ 0748-49 Dark Vertical Lines ■ Black or colored vertical lines that streak the page. Printer not correctly set to the proper media type. The printer is exposed to direct sunlight. Toner is on fuser roll.
Print Defects and Potential Remedies (cont'd.) Print Quality Problem Common Causes Light Vertical Lines ■ An LED bar is dirty. Potential Remedies ■ Light areas (without color or the wrong color) that streak the page. Clean each of the LED bars (a) using the cleaning pad supplied with the toner cartridge, or an alcohol wipe from the Cleaning Kit. a 0748-51 ■ 0748-52 If the problem occurs in only one color, an imaging drum may be scratched, dirty or damaged.
Print Defects and Potential Remedies (cont'd.) Print Quality Problem ■ Every 44 mm or 1.75 inches of the same color Common Causes ■ One of the rollers in an imaging drum are scratched or damaged. Potential Remedies ■ Replace the corresponding imaging drum. 0748-53 Back-Side Contamination There is excess toner in the paper path. Toner has been deposited on the non-imaged side of a print. ■ The fuser has contamination. To clean up any residual toner, print blank sheets of paper.
Print Defects and Potential Remedies (cont'd.) Print Quality Problem Common Causes Potential Remedies Color Misregistration An LED bar may be misaligned. Turn the printer off, wait 10 seconds, turn the printer on. The printer performs an automatic registration. Color has shifted outside of the designated area or has been superimposed over another color area. ■ ■ An imaging drum may be misaligned. The transfer belt may be misaligned.
Clearing Media Jams Preventing media jams To reduce the frequency of paper and transparency jams, use only Xerox Phaser paper, Xerox Phaser labels, and Xerox Phaser 35 Series Transparencies. See page page 5 for ordering supplies. ■ Fan media prior to loading in the Universal Tray or Multi-Sheet Bypass Feeder. ■ For supported media sizes refer to page 23. ■ For proper media loading instructions refer to page 32.
Clearing Media Jams Jams When a media jam occurs, printing stops and a message is displayed on the front panel. The message indicates the location of the jam and the corrective action. More than one sheet of media may be jammed in the paper path. Refer to the labels on the printer to clear the jam. Caution To avoid possible injury, do not touch the printer’s fuser rollers; they may be hot. Do not touch the shiny green surface on the under-side of the imaging drum.
Top Cover Jam Follow these steps to clear a jam at the top cover: 1. Open the top cover. Avoid touching or handling the LED bars. Jams 0748-56 2. Using the black handles, lift out each toner cartridge/image drum assembly.
Place each toner cartridge/imaging drum assembly on a flat surface. Avoid exposure to light for more than 10 minutes. Jams 3. 0 10 0748-58 Caution Do not place the imaging drums (or the bottom of each toner cartridge/imaging drum assembly) on the edge of the table or an uneven or rough surface. Exposure to rough or uneven surfaces may result in print quality defects.
4. Locate the jammed media in the transfer belt area (a) or the fuser area (b). Jams b a 0748-59 a. Remove the jammed media from the transfer belt area. 0748-60 b.
