Check and Cause Solution
1. If dark or blurry black spots occur periodi-
cally, the rollers in the Developer may be
contaminated with foreign matte or paper
particles.
( Charge roller : 37.7 mm interval
OPC drum : 75.5 mm interval)
2. If faded areas or voids occur in a black
image at intervals of 75.5 mm, or black
spots occur elsewhere, the OPC drum
surface is damaged.
3. If a black image is partially broken, the
transfer voltage is abnormal or the
transfer roller's life has expired.
1. Print several OPC cleaning Mode Prints
and then run the Self-test 2 or 3 times.
2. 75.5 mm repetition: Examine the surface of
the OPC drum and carefully clean with a
soft, lint free cloth. If unsuccessful replace
the cartridge.
37.7mm repetition: Replace the toner car-
tridge
3. The transfer roller guarantees 60,000
sheets printing. If the roller's life is expired,
replace it.
Note. Cleaning the inside of the set to
remove excess toner particles or paper
dust will reduce the occurrence of this
problem..
