Cleaning the Color Toner Density Sensors
The Color Toner Density Sensors (CTD) measure the optical density of toner deposited on the marking 
unit during the calibration cycles of the printing process. One sensor is located at each side of the 
marking unit to insure that the density of the toner is consistent across the belt. To insure optimum 
print quality, the printer checks the operation of the CTD Sensors at the beginning of each...

Adjusting the Bias Transfer Roller
The Bias Transfer Roller (BTR) controls how the toner image is transferred from the marking unit to the 
paper. The bias is set for each paper type that is selected and used in the printer. If the bias is too low, 
the toner does not transfer properly, producing light colors and white spots. If the bias voltage is too 
high, it causes a mottling affect on the colors that are transferred.
To adjust the BTR:

Adjusting the Fuser
The fuser uses heat and pressure to bond the toner image to the paper. For optimal print quality, the 
printer automatically adjusts the temperature of the fuser when you change the paper type. Because 
of differences in paper construction and thickness, the adjustment made by the printer is not enough 
or is too much for all paper types. If the fuser temperature is too low, the toner will not properly bond 
to the paper. If...
