Cause:

This is caused by an abnormal electrical discharge in a low temperature and low humidity environment due to the stains on the charge roller.

Occurrence conditions:

  • When printing single-color dot image

  • When printing is performed in a low-temperature environment (the problem is resolved as the temperature inside the machine increases)

  • When printing 20,000 sheets per day for 15 consecutive days, or when printing 30,000 sheets per day for 8 consecutive days

  • After printing approximately 30,000 sheets per day for approximately 8 consecutive days

Solution:

1To identify the affected color, print three full-page, halftone A3 or DLT sheets for each of cyan, magenta, and yellow.

2Detach the charge unit of the affected color and wipe the charge roller with a well-wrung-out damp cloth.

3Wipe a dry, unused, lint-free cloth until no moisture remains.

4Print the image. Has the problem been resolved?

Note

  • After performing the solution, it is recommended to perform the color calibration of the external printer controller.
