"Ghost Images" When Printing

[Brzrule]

On the left side of the page, about every two inches, there is a quarter-sized "Ghost Image" of the first few lines on the page. I have tried calibrating the color, printing a cleaning page and replacing all cartridges, but the issues persists.

The only thing I can think now is that something might be dirty, but I haven't been able to find anything.

Any ideas?

Hi Brzrule,

If the image that is printed on the left side of the paper is a ghost image of what the printer has already printed from the previous lines, then it will most likely be an issue with your fuser.

Remove the fuser and inspect its cylinder surface, especially at both ends. If you see any damage, proceed for replacing it.

I hope that will help,

Cheers!

How do you remove the fuser?

I have a hp laser printer m452dn

it works great with regular copy paper. I’m trying to print stickers with sticker paper and the picture ghost all the way down the paper like a whole lot of ink.

any advice?

Hi 1laserGirl,

Every time you change your paper size or paper type in a tray you have to change the tray's settings in the printer's menus.

Also, you have to make sure that your printer model supports the paper you are using.

I hope this may help,

Cheers!
