These missing areas form bands that run along the paper from the leading
edge to the trailing edge, in the direction of paper travel.
Initial Actions
■ Using a flashlight, carefully examine the area around the Laser window
and the openings between the Developer Assemblies. Small obstructions,
such as hair or fibers, can create streaks.
