Toner Scattering: Trailing Edge

Toner scattering occurs for a portion of lines or letters. This may occur in a line or letters that is 8 to 13 mm (0.3” to 0.5”) from the trailing edge, and 20 mm (0.8”) or less from the left edge in the paper feed direction.

Cause

A shock occurs when the trailing edge of the paper leaves the paper transport guide during the paper transfer, and then causes toner scattering.

This is likely to occur if:

  • Using thick paper (paper weight 4 or heavier)
