Vertical Streaks Appear on the Printed Paper

Content Id: 8100109600


Issue

Vertical streaks appear on the printed paper.

Cause and solution

The toner cartridge was replaced, or the printer has not printed for a long period of time.

Set [Special Print Adjustment B] to [Mode 1] in the printer driver.

If the problem is not solved by specifying [Mode 1], specify [Mode 2].

If the problem is not solved by specifying [Mode 2], specify [Mode 3].

In order to specify the setting for [Special Print Adjustment B], display the following dialog box.

For UFR II Printer Driver: Display the [Advanced Settings] dialog box by clicking [Finishing Details] in the [Finishing] sheet, then clicking [Advanced Settings] in the [Finishing Details] dialog box.
For PCL Printer Driver: Display the [Finishing Details] dialog box by clicking [Finishing Details] in the [Finishing] sheet.

Caution

Selecting [Off] may also avoid vertical streaks appearing on the printed paper. In this case, specify [Off].
If [Special Print Adjustment B] is specified, printing speed may drop.

Cause and solution

Depending on the paper type or the operating environment, vertical streaks may appear on the printed paper.

⋖Remedy 2⋗

Set SP.PRINT ADJ A in the USER MAIN. options in the SETUP menu to MODE 2. [Specifying the Setting for SP.PRINT ADJ A]

If the problem is not solved by specifying MODE 2, specify MODE 3.

If the problem is not solved by specifying MODE 3, specify MODE 4.

Caution

Resetting the setting to MODE 1 due to change in paper type or operating environment may also avoid vertical streaks appearing on the printed paper. In this case, specify MODE 1.
Vertical streaks are alleviated by specifying MODE 2, MODE 3, or MODE 4. However, this decreases print density compared to when MODE 1 is specified. This may also make outlines appear to be blurred or slightly jagged.

Caution

You can also specify the setting for SP.PRINT ADJ A in [Special Print Adjustment A] in the printer driver.
