Cause:
White spots
Coagulated toner and its surroundings are not transferred
Colored streaks
Colored streaks appear due to coagulated toner melting in the development unit.
This may occur if:
• If the machine or toner has been left idle at high temperature (due to long vacation, etc.)
• If the machine has received strong impact
• When moving the machine
• When printing solid-fill images
Solution:
1. Print a solid-fill image in each of 4 colors (cyan, magenta, black, and green) to determine
the color in which white spots appear.
2. Print 30 to 300 full-page, solid-fill A3 sheets for the color in which white spots appear.
