Hi lluvatar,
Thank you for using the Support Forum. Please take a look at the soutions for faded images. If none of those solutions clear up the issue you will need to have service take a look at the machine. Please consider contacting your support centre for further assistance.
Can anyone else please help with this problem ??
I have had various suggestions ranging from replacing the fuser to cleaning the whole internals of the machine from top to bottom.
I really don't know where to start.
Joe,
I have tried your solution a number of times with a series of cartridges. No result !
Thanks for the photo :-)
(1)Simply set the lighten/darken to darker in the defaults
(2)Shake the toner a bit, but not hard, don't end up like this
(3)Replace the print cartridge
I have a WorkCentre 3550 which prints everything as gray, despite the desnity of the origina (from copy) or as a printed document.
Someone has set the maintenance password to an unknown value, so I cannot run the diagnostics.
Could someone help me with a plan of attack so that I might ry to work out what is causing this?
(I have a copy of the workshop manual but it is quite terse and full of jargon. A real world view from a real person would be of more assistance.)
Thanks in advance.
