Fuzzy text
Text appears indistinct and difficult to
read.
1.
Head-to-drum gap is too great.
Verify the gap with the adjustment
as explained in the topic
“Printhead-to-drum spacing
adjustment (Phaser 840 printer)” on
page 102.
2.
Verify the drum temperature using
PC-based diagnostics. Ensure the
drum temperature sensor is
properly positioned.
3.
Refer to the topic “Evaluating the
printhead and cap/wipe/purge
system” on page 80. A properly
functioning printhead maintenance
system is essential for proper
printhead operation.
4.
If the problem persists, replace the
printhead.
5.
Verify the operation of the Y-axis encoder using PC-based diagnostics.
Replace the encoder if needed.
Variation of density on second side of print
1.
The transfix spring pressure is incorrect. Perform the procedure
“Transfix roller pressure spring adjustment” on page 110.
Ghost of first side image on second side of print
Incomplete image transfer is taking place on the first side of the print.
1.
Inspect the drum-maintenance system. Does the drum-maintenance
roller contain sufficient oil? Replace the drum-maintenance roller (and
counter chip), if necessary.
2.
Is the drum-maintenance cam roller and electric clutch operating
correctly? Test them using PC-based diagnostics.
3.
Ensure the left and right drum-maintenance actuators operate correctly
when lifted by the cams of the drum-maintenance cam roller.
