Toner Splatter on Edge
Toner falls from the image transfer belt onto the edge of the print.
Cause:
Toner falls from the ITB cleaning unit onto the paper near the edge. Normally, this does not happen;

the paper. Toner may also have fallen onto the paper transport path, dirtying the paper passing through.
Solution:
1. Clean the paper transport path.
2. Print the image. Is the problem resolved?
3. Did a paper jam occur at the entrance of the ITB cleaning unit?
Replace the cleaning blade in the ITB cleaning unit.
4. Print the image. Is the problem resolved?

5. Print the image. Is the problem resolved?
6. Clean the ITB unit guide plate, PTR unit, development unit, drum cleaning unit, belt cleaning unit,
ribs, and rollers.
7. If the problem persists, consult the product specialist.
