White streaks
There are several possible causes of light areas on the printed page:
l Low toner- Check to see if the status message
TONER LOW
is displayed on the screen. If so, follow the procedure described in the
chapter “Setting Up the Star LaserPrinter 8111.”
1. Unplug the printer and open the printer cover. Remove the toner
cartridge and throw it away.
2. Open the upper fixing assembly cover, remove the used fixing roller
cleaner, and throw it away.
Note: this area may be hot, so use caution when working near it.
3. Open a fresh toner cartridge package. Clean the fixing roller with the
cleaning pad that comes with the new fixing roller cleaner. Remove the
cleaning pad (throw it away) and install the new fixing roller cleaner in
the fixing assembly. Close the fixing assembly cover.
4. Clean the transfer guide with a moistened cloth.
5. Use the cotton swab to clean the transfer corona wires. Discard the used
swab.
6. Use the wire cleaner stored within the printer to brush off the discharging
pins. Replace the wire cleaner in its holder.
7. Rock the new EP-S toner cartridge back and forth several times, then
install it. Close the printer cover.
8. Plug the power cord back into the wall socket and restart the printer.
Make several test prints, to examine print quality.
l Unevenly distributed toner-
If the TONER LOW message does not
appear, you may have to redistribute the toner in the cartridge:
