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:
-
Position the print sample in front of the drum unit, and find the exact position of the poor print.
-
Turn the drum unit gear by hand while looking at the surface of the OPC drum.
-
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.
