Issue description

A print quality issue that shows grainy, fuzzy, washed out or incomplete coverage on the page. You may also see a smudged or smeared line two inches from the bottom of the page.

2. Pull down on the lever until it locks in place.



3. Lift the lever back up until it springs back up.



4. Close the front door and perform a print quality check to confirm whether the issue is resolved. (Settings > Reports > Print Quality Pages).
