The trailing edge is fainter.

Cause:

This may occur because of insufficient or excessive paper transfer current when using paper weighing approximately 160 g/m2 (60 lb. Cover) or heavier at low temperature or humidity.

  • To adjust the following settings, pre-register the type of paper in use as a custom paper. For details see “3. Custom Paper Settings for Administrator” in the TCRU “Adjustment Item Menu Guide”.

Solution:

Do these procedures in the order presented below: Procedure (a), Procedure (b), and then Procedure (c).

Procedure (a) Setting Range

  1. Measure in millimeters how far the fainter area extends from the trailing edge.
  2. In Paper Transfer Current > Trail Edge Dist, enter the value you measured in Step 1 plus an additional 10 mm. (SP2-816-001: Trail Edge Corr Switch:2nd Custom Paper 001)
  3. Go to Procedure (b).

Procedure (b) Raising the Setting

  1. In Advanced Settings for the custom paper in use, make a note of the present value in Paper Transfer Current > Trail Edge. (SP2-815-001 to 100: Trail Edge Corr Coef:2nd Custom Paper 001 to 100)
  2. Increase the scaling factor in the above setting by 10 percentage points.
  3. Print the image. Is the problem resolved?

    Yes

    Finished!

    No

    Increase the scaling factor by 5 percentage points.

  4. Repeat Step 3. If the problem persists even though you have increased the scaling factor by 50 percentage points, restore the value noted in Step 1 and go to Procedure (c).

Procedure (c) Lowering the Setting

  1. Decrease the scaling factor in the above setting by 10 percentage points.
  2. Print the image. Is the problem resolved?

    Yes

    Finished!

    No

    Decrease the scaling factor by 5 percentage points.

  3. Repeat Step 2. If the problem persists even though you have decreased the scaling factor by 50 percentage points, restore the value noted in Procedure (b) Step 1 and then consult the product specialist.
