■ Trailing Center White Spot
A trailing center white spot is caused by warping of paper. The leading edge of such pa-
per is retained on the transfer belt without uniform contact, causing its trailing edge to warp.
This problem tends to occur particularly when copying on the second side of a two-sided
copy in a high humidity environment.
1) Does the problem occur only when copying on special paper or
thick paper?
YES: Go to step 3.
2) Is the copy paper wavy because of humidity?
NO: Replace the paper.

Transfer belt
3) Is the cassette heater operating normally?
NO: See “The cassette heater fails to operate.”
YES: Check the transfer belt; replace it if dents exist in the surface.
