particles.
(1)38mm interval : Charge
roller

2. If white spots occur in a black
image at intervals of 95mm,
or black spots occur
elsewhere, the OPC drum is
damaged or foreign
substance is stuck to the
surface.
3. If a black and white or
graphic image is partially
broken at irregular intervals,
the transfer roller's life has
been expired or the transfer
voltage is abnormal.

disassembling the toner cartridge.
(b) If materials other than normal
parts of the toner cartridge are
added or substituted.
2. Clean all HV contacts. If the
problem persists replace the
cartridge.
Note If the cartridge is judged to be

judged as recycling the toner
cartridge.
