Smears, Smudges, and Streaks
Dark or light marks appear on your
output.
Run the Fuser Cleaning procedure. At the control panel, touch Printer >
Tools > Troubleshooting > Resolve Problems > Smears, Smudges, and
Streaks > Start Cleaning. Several blank pages feed through the printer
to remove toner accumulated on the fuser.
If the problem persists, print the test pages to help determine which
component is causing the image-quality problem.
• If the defect occurs only in one color, replace the corresponding
imaging unit.
• If the defect occurs in all colors and is visible on all the test pages,
replace the fuser.

2. Follow the instructions on the Repeating Defects page to identify the

3. Replace the printer part identified by the Repeating Defects page to
correct the problem.
Note: Touch the video icon in the top bar to view a video for identifying
