Printing in the area extending approximately 90 mm (3.5 inches) from the trailing edge is fainter or denser.
Cause:
This may occur when:
- Printing is done at low temperature or humidity
- Printing a single-dot halftone image
- 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:
The solution depends on whether the area within 90 mm (3.5 inches) of the trailing edge is denser or fainter. However, if the paper is not registered with the Advanced User Settings, the timing roller speed must be adjusted for the paper type and paper thickness for the paper in use.
