[. . . ] Contact your HP service representative. 6-6 Print Quality EN Toner Smear If toner smears appear on the leading edge (as it passes through the printer) of the paper, the paper guides are dirty. Clean the printer as described in Chapter 7. If toner on the paper is loose or can be wiped off easily, your fuser may be damaged. Contact your authorized HP dealer or your HP service representative. 6 Background Gray Toner Shading If the amount of background toner shading becomes unacceptable: · Lower the density setting. (See "Print Density" earlier in this chapter. ) This decreases the amount of background shading. · Change the paper to a lighter basis weight. · Check the printer's environment; very dry (low humidity) conditions can increase the amount of background shading. Print Quality If these procedures do not fix the problem, the transfer roller may need to be replaced. Contact your authorized HP dealer or your HP service representative. Repetitive Defects If any of the following marks appear repeatedly on the printed side of the page, replace the toner cartridge: · If a repetitive mark occurs every 3 3/4 inches (94 mm) in the direction the paper passes through the printer, the toner cartridge drum is damaged. · If a repetitive mark occurs every 2 inches (51 mm) in the direction the paper passes through the printer, the developer roller is damaged. · If black lines occur every 1 1/2 inches (38 mm) on the back of the page, the charger roller is damaged. If defects occur every 2 3/8 inches (61 mm) on the back of the page, the transfer roller has toner on it. This problem will likely correct itself after a few pages. EN Print Quality 6-7 Improperly Formed Characters If characters are improperly formed, producing hollow characters, your paper stock may be too slick. Make sure that the EconoMode setting is set to OFF. If characters are improperly formed, producing a wavy effect, the laser scanner needs service. Call your authorized HP dealer or HP service representative. Line at Edge of Paper If a line appears on the top of the paper toward the end of the toner cartridge life (usually on the right side and running the direction that the paper travels through the printer), the drum in your toner cartridge is wearing out. The line will grow wider, with cross-hatching. Shaking the cartridge does not relieve the problem. 6-8 Print Quality EN EconoMode EconoMode lowers printing costs by reducing the amount of toner on the printed page. When set to ON, the printed image is lighter but still readable, as shown in Figure 6-2, side (A). Full time use may result in a loss of print quality due to normal toner cartridge mechanical wear. Normal printing with the EconoMode set to off is shown in Figure 6-2, side (B). Figure 6-2 6 Print Quality A. Normal EN Print Quality 6-9 Turning on EconoMode You may be able to turn on EconoMode through your software application or driver. If your software permits, you will probably prefer to use this method. Otherwise, see "Turning on EconoMode from the Control Panel" in the following section. Note Where and how you make selections depends on your software application or associated printer driver.
