Streaks and Gloss Unevenness Appear on Output Paper (Refreshing the Fixing Belt)

When paper with a longer width is used after copying or printing 100 or more sheets of paper with a shorter width (for example, when you use A3 paper after A4R paper), luster streak may appear on both edges in the feeding direction. In addition, patches of uneven gloss may appear in the high density areas of the printed heavy paper or coated paper. In this case, the streaks and patches of uneven gloss may be reduced by refreshing the fixing belt and cleaning its surface.
