Large Classification: Lines/Streaks

Line/streaks thinner than 1mm in width that appear either as a result of contamination or incomplete toner transfer.

Middle classification: Lines/Streaks

A smudge or a white area inside an image, in a linear shape with 1mm or smaller width.

Small classification	Sample image	Description
Vertical black (color) streaks Black (color) streaks appearing in the paper feed direction.
Vertical white streaks Image missing in the shape of streaks in the paper feed direction		See White Streaks Parallel to the Paper Feed Direction.
Horizontal black (color) streaks Black (color) streaks appearing in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction.		See Horizontal (Cross-track) Black Streaks at the Edge of the Image.
Horizontal white streaks Image missing in the shape of streaks in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction.		See Horizontal Streaks (Synthetic Paper)". See Horizontal (Cross-track) White Streaks across the Paper. See White Stain at the Trailing Edge of the Image Using the Special Toner (White). See Horizontal Streaks of Uneven Density (Low-Resistance Paper).
Vertical glossy streaks Glossy streaks appearing in the paper feed direction.		See Vertical (In-track) White Streaks (Glossy). See Vertical Glossy (In-track) Streaks (Due to the Toner Wax on the Image).
Horizontal white streaks Glossy streaks appearing in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction.		See White Stain at the Trailing Edge of the Image Using the Special Toner (White). See Glossy Ghosting (Horizontal Glossy Streaks). See Multiple Horizontal Glossy Streaks (Glossy Ghosting). See Glossy Lines at the Edge of the Paper.
Image scratches Stains in the shape of vertical streaks which seem to result from being scratched by the guide plate ribs or other parts.

Middle classification: Bands

A smudge or a white area inside an image, in a linear shape with 1mm or larger width.

Small classification	Sample image	Description
Jitter Blurred area visible as bands in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction		See Paper Transfer Shock Jitter / Shock Jitter (When the Positions of K and S Toners Have Been Switched). See Horizontal Streaks in the Area 280-300 mm (11-11.8 inches) from the Leading Edge of the Paper (Shock Jitter When Using Stiff Paper).
Banding Banding at regular intervals in the direction perpendicular to the paper feed direction. (Gear eyes: Color unevenness in the same interval as the pitch of the gear.)		See Banding (General).
