Cause:

When continuous printing is performed, streaks may appear where the intermediate transfer belt is applied to the edge of the paper.

This may occur when:

  • coated paper is used

  • Printing half-tone images with low gradation

  • Full-color images with black half-tone parts are printed

  • 5,000 or more sheets of paper are continuously printed

Note

  • To adjust the following settings, pre-register the type of paper in use as a custom paper. For details about registering custom papers, see "Specifying a Custom Paper", Preparation.

  • Even when white streaks should appear, problems could be resolved by continuous printing is performed on larger-size paper.

  • You can prevent white streaks from enlarging by applying continuous printing of same-size paper to a maximum of 3,000 sheets and printing different-size paper in between.
