Refresh the fixing belt

After the print system has printed more than 100 sheets of a specific paper size, for example A4 / LTR, and then prints on a larger paper size, for example A3 / 11" x 17", luster streaks (ghost printing) can appear on both sides of the paper. Perform a correction procedure to refresh the fixing roller to correct this problem.

You can also perform this procedure when you use heavy or coated paper and patches of uneven gloss appear in the high density printed areas.
