Prints have scratches on
them. The processor racks and socks are
contaminated (dirty). • Clean the processor racks and socks.
• Check that the crossover assemblies are
installed correctly.
Chemistry has built up on
the printer exit rollers. • Wet prints were pulled into the
printer to clear a paper jam.
(Usually following errors 65 or
260.)
• Splash guard was not used when
doing processor maintenance.
• Clean the rollers with a damp cloth.
• Clear the paper jam.
• Use the splash guard when doing processor
maintenance.
Chemistry leaks from the
processor. Hose clamps or compression fittings
are loose. Tighten the clamps and compression fittings.
See “Checking the Fittings for Leaks” on page
4-10.
The text on the paper has
flare. • The text density is too high.
• The processor is not in control.
