Troubleshooting Your Laser Printer

Executive Summary About Troubleshooting Your Laser Printer By H Pines

Oftentimes, just cleaning the interior and exterior of the printer can be helpful. Do not submerge the printer in water. Use a clean lint free cloth to continue removing the loosened debris if needed.

All laser printers generate very high internal temperatures and have the potential to overheat. If your laser printer prints dark spots, the cartridge may have excess toner. You need to run blank pages through the printer to absorb the extra toner.

If your printer prints blank pages, the toner may have either dried or almost empty in the cartridge. For print-quality issues, most times, the printer’s default settings will provide the best print quality and print speed for most jobs, but if you have special or unusual print quality needs, you can often customize the print quality settings. If a printer develops streaked print jobs, the roller or drum may need to be replaced.

One of the most common laser printer malfunctions is the paper jam. Sometimes, improperly stored paper develops a curl before it is placed in the paper tray – this often leads to paper jams.
