Cause:
This may occur because of insufficient or excessive paper transfer current when using paper weighing
approximately 160 g/m
2
(60 lb. Cover) or heavier at low temperature or humidity.
• To adjust the following settings, pre-register the type of paper in use as a custom paper. For details
about registering custom papers, see "Registering a Custom Paper", Paper Settings Reference.
Solution:
1. Measure in millimeters how far the fainter area extends from the trailing edge.
2. Configure the following settings in [Advanced Settings] for the custom paper in use.
In [Paper Transfer Current; Trail Edge Dist], enter the value you measured in Step 1 plus an
additional 10 mm.
3. In [Advanced Settings] for the custom paper in use, make a note of the present value in
[Paper Transfer Current; Trail Edge].
4. Increase the scaling factor in the above setting by 10 percentage points.
5. Print the image. Is the problem resolved?
Yes Finished!
No Increase the scaling factor by 5 percentage points.
6. Repeat Step 5. If the problem persists even though you have increased the scaling factor
by 50 percentage points, restore the value noted in Step 3 and go to the next step.
