Phaser 840


Problem: Light stripes or missing colors
Solution: Clean the printhead with the printer's front panel troubleshooting routine.
  1. On the front panel, scroll to Menu. Press Select.

  2. Scroll to Troubleshooting; press Select.

  3. Scroll to Print Test Page; press Select. If print looks like example B in the illustration, go on to Step 4.

  4. Scroll to Eliminate Light Stripes; press Select.

  5. Confirm that the problem is corrected: from the Troubleshooting menu, select Print Test Page.

  6. Repeat Step 4 as necessary. If light stripes persist after three consecutive clean cycles, turn off the printer for four hours to allow the ink to cool and solidify. Then turn on the printer and repeat the clean cycles, if necessary. For more details, refer to the online topic, "Light Stripes on Prints," on the printer's CD-ROM or web site.

These illustrations show a correct Test Page and an example of a Test Page with a missing color bar.
