A ghost of the image appears at a distance of 314 mm (12.4 in.) to the side of the image.

Cause:

The image transfer current is transmitted to the drum, where a potential difference occurs between a developed area and non-developed area and causes the image to be reproduced.

This may occur if:

  • Solid filled images or bold characters are printed in black on a halftone background
  • Printing is done at low temperature or humidity
  • Many screening lines are used

Solution:

  1. On the machine operation panel: Adjustment Settings for Skilled Operators >Image Quality > Adjust Image Density > Image Density Adjustment: Manual Execute. (SP3-011-002: Manual ProCon :Ex Density Adjustment)

  2. Print the image. Is the problem resolved?

    Yes
