Cause:
A sheet is bent at the entrance to the fusing unit and comes into contact with the edge of the paper
delivery tank, where static electricity builds up on the sheet through friction. This causes scattering of
unfixed toner on the paper surface.
This may occur if:
• Printing is done at low temperature or humidity
• The thickness of the paper is equivalent to Paper Weight 2 or lower
• Halftone images are printed in black and white
• To adjust the following settings, pre-register the type of paper in use as a custom paper. For details
about registering custom papers, see "Specifying a Custom Paper", Preparation.
