Fainter Trailing Edge
The trailing edge is fainter.
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.
ï‚· To adjust the following settings, register beforehand the type of paper that you are using as a
custom paper.
Solution:
Carry out the procedures (a), (b), and (c) in that order, stopping when the problem is solved.
(a) Specifying the Setting Range
1. Measure in millimeters how far the fainter area extends from the trailing edge.
2. In Paper Transfer Current > Trail Edge Dist, enter the value you measured in Step 1 plus an
additional 10 mm.
3. Go to Procedure (b).
(b) Raising the Transfer Current
1. In Advanced Settings for the custom paper in use, make a note of the present value in Paper
Transfer Current > Trail Edge.
2. Increase the scaling factor in the above setting by 10 percentage points.
3. Print the image. Is the problem resolved?
Increase the scaling factor by 5 percentage points.
4. Repeat Step 3. If the problem persists even though you have increased the scaling factor by 50
percentage points, restore to the value noted in Step 1 and go to Procedure (c).
(c) Lowering the Transfer Current
1. Decrease the scaling factor in the above setting by 10 percentage points.
2. Print the image. Is the problem resolved?
