Please check the following points to solve the problem:

  • If you use label sheets for laser printers, the glue from the sheets may sometimes stick to the OPC drum surface. Clean the drum unit.

  • Make sure that you use paper that meets our specifications.
    Please refer to FAQs, "What kind of paper can I use?" and "What is the recommended paper?"

  • Do not use paper that has clips or staples because they will scratch the surface of the drum.
