Image-formation defects are frequently the result of problems in the print cartridge. If there is any
doubt, always replace the print cartridge before troubleshooting image defects.

If the transfer roller was recently replaced, print-quality problems might be the result of

skin oils on the black-sponge portion of the transfer roller. Do not touch the black-sponge
portion of the transfer roller when replacing it.

Use the following checklist to make sure that the print cartridge is still operable.

●

Make sure that the print cartridge is installed properly and the shipping tape is removed.

●

Check the print cartridge to see if it has been disassembled or refilled.

●

Inspect the print cartridge to see if toner is leaking through worn seals.

●

Check the surface of the photosensitive drum in the cartridge to see if it has been damaged or
scratched. Touching the drum contaminates the photosensitive surface and can cause spotting
and image defects.

●

Blurred areas on printed pages indicate that the photosensitive drum in the cartridge has been
overexposed to light. Because overexposure to light causes permanent damage to the
photosensitive drum, the cartridge should be replaced.

Before installing a new print cartridge or when toner begins to run low, redistribute the toner by
rocking the cartridge back and forth five or six times.

Use the following tables to help solve problems with printed pages.
