Carry out the following sequence of procedures. Terminate the sequence as soon as the problem is resolved.
Procedure 1: Specifying the area to be adjusted
Measure by a ruler or other device the length (in mm) of the area from the leading edge of the paper where the print is faint or dense.
In [Advanced Settings] for the custom paper, specify the area to apply the transfer current at the leading edge of the paper.

Procedure 2: Increasing the current
In [Advanced Settings] for the custom paper, make a note of the following values:
<Printing in black and white>
027: [Image Trnsf Current; Lead Edge: B&W], 039: [Paper Transfer Current; Lead Edge: B&W], 060: [Paper Transfer AC: Lead Edge AC: B&W], and 061: [Paper Transfer AC: Lead Edge DC: B&W]
<Printing in full color>
029: [Image Trnsf Current; Lead Edge: FC: K], 031: [Image Trnsf Current; Lead Edge: FC: C], 033: [Image Trnsf Current; Lead Edge: FC: M], 035: [Image Trnsf Current; Lead Edge: FC: Y], 045: [Paper Transfer Current; Lead Edge: FC], 063: [Paper Transfer AC: Lead Edge AC: FC], and 064: [Paper Transfer AC: Lead Edge DC: FC]
Increase these values by 10 percentage points.
