Afterimages Appear in Blank Areas

A possible cause may be that appropriate paper is not used or the amount remaining in toner cartridges is running low. Check the following.

Are you using appropriate paper?

Check usable paper, and replace with appropriate paper.

Do ghost images appear in the same page?

Change the setting for <Adj. Scndry Transfer>. Setting to <On> may solve the problem.

NOTE

If you select <On> and use the machine in an environment with low humidity, printed images or text may be smudged.

Do afterimages appear when you print on large size paper after printing on small size paper?

Change the setting of <Afterimage Corr.>. Setting to <On> may solve the problem.

NOTE

If you set to <On>, the printing speed may be slower.

Is the amount remaining in toner cartridge running low?

Check the toner cartridge status indication, and perform toner cartridge replacement as necessary.

Regardless of the toner cartridge status indication, the toner cartridge may have reached the end of its lifetime due to the machine's environmental conditions and the deteriorated materials in the cartridge. Replace the toner cartridge.
