    Why does my Minolta Di152 copy have lines, dark specks, or spots?
    • C
      Charles BrownAug 23, 2025
      Lines, dark specks, or spots on your Minolta All in One Printer copies may appear if the Original Glass surface or the Original Pad is dirty. Clean these parts with a soft, dry cloth or a soft cloth dampened with neutral detergent. It can also happen if the original is highly transparent, in this case place a blank sheet of paper over the original. Another reason may be that the original is 2-sided, in this case adjust the image density to the lighter side.

    Why is the edge of the copy dirty when using my Minolta Di152?
    • J
      Jordan MoralesAug 27, 2025
      A dirty edge on copies from your Minolta All in One Printer can occur if the Original Pad is dirty. Wipe the Original Pad clean using a soft cloth dampened with neutral detergent. It could also be caused by selecting a paper size larger than the original when the zoom ratio is full size. Select the same paper size as the original, or use Auto Size to enlarge the copy to the appropriate size. The original may not be placed in the correct position, so select the same paper size as the original or reload the paper in the same direction as the original. Finally, the reduction ratio selected may not be in accord with the paper size, so select the zoom ratio according to the paper size or use Auto Size to reduce the copy to the appropriate size.
