How old and how empty is the toner cartridge? In normal environments 90% of image fading is caused simply by either an empty toner cartridge or cartridge where the toner is not evenly distributed. If you gently shake the black cartridge side to side and then print again do you see an improvement?

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by giving kudos and marking my post as an accepted solution.
