Printing quality problems

Condition

Suggested solutions

If the inside of the machine is dirty or paper has been loaded improperly,

you may notice a reduction in print quality. See the table below to clear

the problem.

White Spots

White spots appear on the page:

• The paper path may need cleaning. Contact

a service representative.

Condition

Suggested solutions

Light or faded print If a vertical white streak or faded area appears

on the page:

• The toner supply is low. You may be able to

temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. If

this does not improve the print quality, install

a new toner cartridge.

Vertical lines

If black vertical streaks appear on the page:

• The toner cartridge has probably been

scratched. Remove the toner cartridge and

install a new one.

• The paper may not meet paper

specifications; for example, the paper may

be too moist or rough. (See "Specifications

on print media" on page 4.3.)

If white vertical streaks appear on the page:

• If the entire page is light, the print resolution

setting is too low or the toner save mode is

on. Adjust the print resolution and turn the

toner save mode off. See the help screen of

the printer driver and refer to Software

section, respectively.

• The surface of the LSU part inside the

machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU (see

page 8.2).

Color or Black

background

If the amount of background shading becomes

unacceptable:

• A combination of faded or smeared defects

may indicate that the toner cartridge needs

cleaning. Contact a service representative.

• The surface of the LSU part inside the

machine may be dirty. Clean the LSU (see

page 8.2).

• Change to a lighter weight paper. (See

• Check the environmental conditions: very

dry conditions (low humidity) or a high level

of humidity (higher than 80% RH) can

increase the amount of background

shading.

• Remove the old toner cartridge, and then

install a new one. (See "Replacing the toner

cartridge" on page 8.5.)

randomly on the page:

LED

12Glossary

A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that indicates the

status of a machine.

Control Panel

Print Media

A control panel is a flat area where control or monitoring instruments are

displayed. They are typically found in top or front of the machine.

Media such as papers, labels, and transparencies which can be used on

a printer, a scanner, a fax or, a copier.

Coverage

OPC Drum

This is the printing term used for toner usage measurement on printing

and generally used as 5% coverage. 5% coverage means that an A4

sided paper has about 5% image or text on it. So, if the paper or original

has complicated images or lots of text on it, the coverage will be over 5%

and at the same time, toner usage will be as much as the coverage.

A mechanism that makes a virtual image for print using a laser beam

emitted from a laser printer, and it is usually green or gray-colored and

cylinder-shaped. An exposing unit of a drum is slowly worn away by its

usage of the printer, and it should be replaced appropriately since it

becomes scratched from grit in paper.

Default

PDF

The first set values.

Portable Document Format (PDF) is a proprietary file format developed

by Adobe Systems for representing two-dimensional documents in a

device-independent and resolution-independent format.

DPI

This is the measurement of resolution which is used for printing or

scanning. Generally, more dots per inch result in a higher resolution,

more visible detail in the image, and a larger file size.

PPM

Pages Per Minute. PPM shows the printer's speed, how many pages a

printer can actually print per minute.

Duty Cycle

Duty cycle is the page quantity which does not affect printer performance

for a month. Generally the printer has the lifespan limitation such as

pages per year. The lifespan means the average capacity of print-outs,

usually within the warranty period. For example, if the duty cycle is 48,000

pages per month assuming 20 working days, a printer limits 2,400 pages

a day, which is not small amount.

PRN file

An interface for a device driver, this allows software to interact with the

device driver using standard input/output system calls, which simplifies

many tasks.

Resolution

Fuser Unit

The sharpness of an image, measured in dots per inch (dpi). The higher

the dpi, the greater the resolution.

This is the part of a laser printer that melts the toner onto the print media.

It consists of two hot rollers. After toner is transferred onto the paper, the

fuser unit applies heat and pressure to ensure that the toner stays on the

paper permanently, which is why paper is warm when it comes out of a

laser printer.

Toner cartridge

It is a kind of bottle within a machine like a printer which contains toner.

Toner is a powder used in laser printers and photocopiers which forms the

text and images on the printed paper. Toner can be melted by the heat of

the fuser, causing it to bind to the fibers in the paper.

Grayscale

Shades of gray that represent light and dark portions of an image when

color images are converted to grayscale; colors are represented by

various shades of gray.

URL

Uniform Resource Locator (URL) is the global address of documents and

resources on the Internet. The first part of the address indicates what

protocol to use, the second part specifies the IP address or the domain

name where the resource is located.

Halftone

This is an image type that simulates grayscale by varying the number of

dots. Highly colored areas consist of a large number of dots, while lighter

areas consist of a smaller number of dots.

USB

Universal serial bus (USB) is a standard that was developed by the USB

Implementers Forum, Inc., to connect computers and peripherals. Unlike

the parallel port, USB is designed to concurrently connect a single

computer USB port to multiple peripherals.

ISO

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is an

international standard-setting body composed of representatives from

national standards bodies. It produces world-wide industrial and

commercial standards.
