Troubleshooting If your printer is not operating properly, check the following: ■ Whether the printer is plugged in and switched on. ■ Whether the Ground-Fault-Interrupt switch (circuit breaker) was tripped. ■ Whether the data cable is correctly connected to the printer. ■ Whether the media trays are inserted correctly and the doors are securely closed. ■ Control panel error message. ■ Whether your computer has the correct driver installed and properly configured for your printer.
Do not open the drum shutter or touch the blue imaging drum surface. Note Be sure to shake the Laser Print Cartridge as directed to distribute the toner inside the cartridge. Print quality may be degraded if the toner is not evenly distributed. 1. For the Duplex configuration, open the Duplex Module by lifting the latch (a). For a Standard configuration, open Door A by pushing up on the latch (b). Open the front cover (c). b a c 4525-119 2.
Wrap the used Laser Print Cartridge by placing it in its original packing and return it as directed. 3. Remove the new Laser Print Cartridge from its package and pull out the protective paper sheet from the drum shutter. Hold the Laser Print Cartridge horizontally and gently shake it 5 or 6 times to evenly distribute the toner inside. 4525-121 4. Hold the handle with one hand and gently push the Laser Print Cartridge all the way into the printer.
5. Gently pull the sealing tape straight out. 4525-123 6. For the Standard configuration, close the front cover and Door A. For the Duplex configuration, close the Duplex Module.
Paper size/type mismatch This occurs when the paper size or type requested for a job is not available in the printer so the printer goes off line. One of the following may have occurred: ■ A tray configured for the requested paper is out of paper. ■ None of the trays is configured for the requested paper. The control panel prompts you to load paper in the configured tray (or the first tray in the tray sequence). Once the paper is loaded, the printer automatically comes on line and continues printing.
■ Print the Test Print Pages from the printer’s control panel: a. Press the Menu keys (labeled 1 or 5) to scroll to the Print Menu. b. Press the Item keys (labeled 2 or 6) to scroll to Configuration Sheet. c. Press the Enter key (labeled 4). The configuration sheet pages print. d. Examine the pages for the following symptoms.
Symptom: Light or faint prints The overall image is lighter than normal. Possible causes and solutions: ■ If you are using Draft Mode, turn off Draft Mode. ■ The toner level may be low. Remove the Laser Print Cartridge and carefully shake it several times, then re-install it. (This may help redistribute the remaining toner before having to replace the cartridge.) If the Laser Print Cartridge is empty, replace it. ■ The paper stock may be damp. Replace the paper stock.
Symptom: Black prints The entire printed page is black. Possible causes and solutions: ■ The Laser Print Cartridge may be defective. Replace the Laser Print Cartridge. ■ The Printer’s power supply may have failed; contact your Customer Support Center. 4525-58 Symptom: Spot deletions Areas of the print are extremely light or missing. Possible causes and solutions: ■ The paper stock may be damp. Replace the paper stock. ■ The Laser Print Cartridge may be defective or at the end of its life.
Symptom: Vertical line deletions There are localized print deletions forming narrow lines running in the direction of paper movement. Possible causes and solutions: ■ The Laser Print Cartridge may not be installed correctly. Remove then re-install the Laser Print Cartridge. ■ The Laser Print Cartridge may be defective or at the end of its life. Replace the Laser Print Cartridge.
Symptom: Vertical dark streaks There are black lines running across the print parallel to the direction of paper movement. Possible causes and solutions: ■ The Laser Print Cartridge may be defective or at the end of its life. Replace the Laser Print Cartridge. ■ The fuser may be defective. Replace the fuser (in the Maintenance Kit). 4525-62 Symptom: Repetitive horizontal dark streaks There are black lines running across the page perpendicular to the direction of paper movement.
Symptom: Dark spots or marks There are dark spots or marks on the page in a random pattern. Possible causes and solutions: ■ The paper path may be contaminated with toner. Print several blank sheets of paper to remove the toner accumulations. ■ The Laser Print Cartridge may be defective. Replace the Laser Print Cartridge. 4525-64 Symptom: Unfused or partially fused image The printed image is not fully fused to the paper and easily rubs off.
Symptom: Wrinkled prints The prints are wrinkled, creased, or torn. Possible causes and solutions: ■ The paper stock may be in poor condition. Replace the paper stock. ■ The paper stock may be damp. Replace the paper stock. ■ The fuser may be at the end of its life. Replace the fuser (contained in the Maintenance Kit). 4525-66 Symptom: Blurred prints The image is blurred at the edges. Possible causes and solutions: ■ The paper stock may be in poor condition. Replace the paper stock.
Symptom: Random deletions The page has random light areas and deletions. Possible causes and solutions: ■ The paper stock may be in poor condition. Replace the paper stock. ■ The paper stock may be damp. Replace the paper stock. 4525-68 Symptom: Grainy graphics A graphic image is coarse or grainy (like a brick or checkerboard pattern) rather than a smooth halftone. Troubleshooting Possible causes and solutions: ■ The printer may have tried to print a complex graphic image with inadequate memory.
Symptom: Broken page image The printed image is missing all of the image after a straight line. Possible causes and solutions: ■ The printer may have tried to print a complex graphic image with inadequate memory. Consider adding additional memory to the printer; refer to page 10 for more information.
Paper Jams Paper Jams Warning To avoid possible personal injury, avoid contact with the printer’s fuser area, which may be very hot.
