HP2600N ghosting

[SimpleSi]

Another little issue with the darlings

 

One school, the 1st printout through the printer has ghosted images on it- these get less as more pages go through until ouput is completely clean.

 

Wait a while and send another job - 1st few pages have ghosting

 

had a google - thought it was something to do with fuser temps/paper types - had a play with settings but wasn't sure if I was making any diff.

 

Anyway - ran out of time on Friday am (I had other problems that day ) but was chewing the cud with my local Cartridge World today and mentioned it to them and they said its due to the waste tank not being big enough to take used toner in the cartridges and something about it falls back onto the roller

 

They said the old shake routine can compact the waste toner down for a couple of weeks but then the problem will re-appear.

 

Only happends as the cartridge gets to near end of life - HP know about it (but supprisingly keeping quiet )

 

Now it could be BS but I'll be giving the carts a shake next week!

 

JFI and YMMV

 

regards

Simon
