Guys,

I bought my laser printer, fuji xerox with extra cartridge.

As I seldom print, i my original cartridge that comes with the printer lasted me 6 years.

So this month is time for me to change, so I opened the spare cartridge and use it. But when I tried to print, there are smudges in some part of the paper and the middle part is rather light.

I already shook the cartridge before I use it as per instruction.

Anyone know how to fix the smudge and middle part that is lighter than the left n part of the paper?

Thanks in advance.

What's the specific model? Can refer to the manual for troubleshooting tips.

Dunno if it'll help, you can try these three maintenance steps if your printer supports them:

Smudging is most likely a fuser problem where it does not heat up enough to melt the toner powder on to the paper. U will need to bring the printer for servicing if it is under warranty.

But if I use the old toner which is almost empty, no smudge detected. Weird.

I've decided on getting "Fuji Xerox DocuPrint P265 dw", a quick search leds me to Lazada which is selling at $129/-

As I'm not in urgent need of the printer (My old printer still surviving but works randomly), should I wait for better price/offer during the Sitex next month?:s11:

The old toner might not have adequate powder to cover all the areas for the fuser, which may be working at the required heat for some areas of the paper only.

Print out a complete full black page.

If old toner no problem but 'new' toner has, means toner probably spoilt already. They do harden and clump up after very long storage.

Hi there,

Looking for a laser printer for my office.

I only need to print black & white.
Preferably have 4-in-1 functions, fax, scan, copy & print, else 3-in-1 will do, without the fax.
Prefer to have auto off/on function (must have)
Able to print from iOS/Android devices (Good to have, can do without)
As cheap as possible? I guess.

Any help is much appreciated,

Thanks!

Thanks for the prompt response,

Does the M265Z have auto on/off?
Or do I have to manually on/off the machine everytime I wanna use it?

Thanks in advance!
