Printing colours? The 5430DL i'm using has started printing weirdly, it prints strips of pure colour [very faint] down the middle of the page, Blue, Pink, Yellow. Only does it on the first page, and not all the time, but it's a major pain when it does. Any help?

Anonymous Dec 30, 2007

I love my Konica Minolta laser printer, but when I first turn it on and try to print, I get a color strip printed on the bottom of the page. It ruins the first few pages and if I'm printing a lot of something, it will do the same thing randomly in the middle of the printing. My husband has tried to clean it, but it has done no good, I use this printer for at least 200 copies per month and I'm losing alot of paper and ink. Can someone please tell us what to do? Thank you

Click Start
Click Control Panel
Click Classic View
Click Printers
Right-mouse-click on your printer, and choose "printing preferences" or "properties".
There may be an option to control how "light" or "dark" the printing will be, i.e., use "less" or "more" ink per page.

Also, click "print test page", to ensure that the test-page has all 3 "primary" colours.

Also, click "clean ink cartridges", to try to repair any blockages inside the ink-cartridge.

Likely your purge unit needs cleaning...

Make sure by printing out a test page from printer (not from computer).

If test page is good, you have a software issue. If test page is bad, you need to clean your head and/or purge unit.
