Ways to Solve Common Laser Printer Problems

A printer is a device which produces text or graphics of documents stored in electronic form, usually on physical print media such as paper or transparencies. Printers are used as local peripherals and are attached to a printer cable or a USB cable to a computer which serves as a document source. Printers with built-in network interfaces are called network printers, typically wireless or Ethernet based and can serve as a hard copy device for any user connected to the network. Printers are designed to support both local and network connected users at the same time. A few advanced printers can directly interface with electronic media such as memory cards, or to devices such as digital cameras, scanners.

• Fuzzy or faint white lines
• Sharp white lines
• Black pages

Fuzzy or faint white lines

You might come across fuzzy white lines, faint or absent and it might be due to the Transfer Corotron being dirty. This might be because the Transfer Corotron will caused the toner dirty due to dust from papers which disturb the electrostatic field around the Transfer Corotron and the toner is not transferred from the photoreceptor onto paper. You need to be very careful while cleaning the Transfer Corotron as the wires are very fine and delicate.

Sharp white lines

You might find white line across a printed page. This might be because of blockage in the developer unit which prevents a small area on the developer roller from receiving toner. The developer roller usually has blades above and below it which will scrape off excess toner and a small lump of damp toner which might block the gap between one of these blades and the developer roller. You can get a cleaner toll which slides between the developer to clean them.

You might face a black page if the Charger Corotron is broken or if it is not properly connected. You need to examine the Charger Corotron to check if it is broken. The Charger Corotron is a part of the print cartridge or photoreceptor unit, so you need to replace the print cartridge or photoreceptor unit with a new one.
