Smudges appear on
printed output.
Are you using paper that is not within
the specifications?
Use SHARP-recommended paper. Using paper that is
for other models or special paper that is not supported
may result in misfeeds, creases, or smudges.
Please use SHARP-recommended paper and label
sheets. For details, contact your dealer or nearest
SHARP Service Department.
Are you printing on pre-punched paper?
If the printed image overlaps the punch holes, smudges
may appear on the reverse side of the paper following
one-sided printing, or on both sides following two-sided
printing. Take care that the image does not overlap the
punch holes.
Is the laser unit, the main charger, or the
PT charger dirty?
If these units are dirty, smudges appear upon print
results. Clean these units periodically.
