Recommendation
If the problem is not solved after printing a few pages, the drum unit
may have glue from label stock on the OPC drum surface.
Clean the drum unit as follows:
1. Position the print sample in front of the drum unit, and find the
exact position of the image defect.
2. Turn the drum unit gear by hand while looking at the surface of
the OPC drum.
3. When you have located the mark on the drum that matches the
print sample, wipe the surface of the OPC drum with a cotton
swab until the dust or paper powder on the surface comes off.
