I HAVE TONER ALL OVER PAPER WHEN IT PRINTS OUT

On these machines the blurry prints is usually due to bad fuser sleeves, or worn out fuser roller and sleeve on the fuser. You may replace the fuser unit or just order sleeve and roller for your model and replace them on the fuser. Will take about 2 hours of your time. To check if the blurry prints are due to fuser issues, just swipe your hand over the printed page and if you have toner dust on your hand, the fuser is not cooking the toner on the paper. Fuser roller and sleeve are bad and need replacing.

If the final product is smudging after it prints out the fuser unit is not working and the toner is not fused to the paper. Also the paper should be warm when it prints out.
If it is during the printing you may have loose toner in the printer that is contaminating the print process.

1. Take the toner out and shake it side to side so you even the toner level in the cartridge.
2. If this won't fix it, check toner level, might be low. If low, you need to replace toner.
3. Last option, you might have to replace the Photoconductor Unit.

clean the paper path rollers. usually if toner cartridges are refilled type they are overfull and spill toner on paper path.

Please rate my help++++Thanks for using FIXYA

Even though the toner was shown at 1/2, I had the fax machine operator install a new cartridge. Problem solved!

The toner cart. has been in for a long time, has plenty of toner in it, it has been refilled 2 times.

For starters remember this is not meant to be a PHOTO Printer, I am guessing the Spearing is because Glossy paper does not hold the toner like Regular paper or at least until it is fused. I am a technitiian and i also own this printer.

Check your Toner Carts.
Is the line a certain color?
Black perhaps?

Lift the door of the toner cart.
If you see a streak on your toner drum, you will see a streak on your paperwork.

Look at your fuser as well.
Is there a problem with the big orange roller?
BEWARE! Don't touch the fuser roller its EXTREMELY HOT!
Let the printer cool down before inspecting.

I believe that the Heat roller in the Fuser has a build up of toner on it(in some areas) and as a result is not fully fusing the toner into the paper. when you use a thick setting you are actually slowing the speed down to allow more heat to the toner. the thicker paper causes more pressure allowing the toner to fuse properly. I would say you need a new Heat roller and possibley a pressure roller. You could try running 20 copies of a blank white page. Sometimes this will help. Poor fusing can also cause a previous image to come up on the next page or repeat itself down the page. A service call is in order if this does not work.

Hope this helps
