Troubleshooting
Vertical white streaks or light cyan color on prints
This often indicates a worn developer unit or uneven toner distribution. Ensure the unit is seated correctly or consider replacing it if it has reached its page yield.
Toner spilling inside the printer
Carefully clean the area using a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use a standard vacuum as it may not be rated for toner dust. Ensure the new unit is locked firmly into position.
