If the problem is not solved after printing a few pages, the drum unit may have 
glue from label stock on the OPC drum surface.

Clean the drum unit as follows:

1

Position the print sample in front of the drum unit, and find the exact position 
of the poor print.

2

Turn the drum unit gear by hand while looking at the surface of the OPC 
drum.

3

When you have located the mark on the drum that matches the print sample, 
wipe the surface of the OPC drum with a cotton swab until the dust or paper 
powder on the surface comes off.

Caution

Do not try to clean the surface of the photosensitive drum with a sharp 
object.

■

The drum unit may be damaged. Put in a new drum unit. See Replacing the 
drum unit on page 5-9.
