Print quality problems associated with toner buildup inside the printer


Over time, toner and other particles can build up inside the printer. This buildup can cause the following print quality problems:

  • marks at even intervals on the printed side of the page

  • toner that smears easily

  • toner specs on the page

  • vertical streaks or bands on the page

To correct these types of problems, clean the printer. See Cleaning the printer.
