Problem
The back side of the printed output contains contamination. The contamination is a specific toner
defect of 10–15 mm wide running from long-edge (LE) or trail-edge (TE), and is near the outboard
(OB) side of the print.
Solution
• Contamination can be media related.
– Look for paper damage, paper dust, or environmental conditions that may contribute.
– Ensure the media is fresh and properly loaded in the tray.
• Defects occur on heavyweight stock with lightweight stock settings. Manage the Stock Library
for the media in use. Refer to Editing an Existing Stock in the Stock Library.
