@MJK1234, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Streaking or Fading on Pages for HP Neverstop Laser MFP 1202w!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
If you're experiencing streaking or fading issues with your HP Neverstop Laser MFP 1202w, there are several steps you can take to try and resolve the problem:
Check the Toner Level:
- Ensure that the toner level is sufficient. Low toner levels can result in less vibrant prints or streaking.
Inspect the Imaging Drum:
- Examine the imaging drum for any signs of damage or wear. If it's near the end of its life, consider replacing it with a new one.
Clean the Printer:
- Dust or residue inside the printer can cause streaks. Use a soft, dry cloth to gently clean the inside of the printer, especially around the imaging drum and toner cartridge areas.
Check the Print Settings:
- Verify that the print settings are appropriate for the type of print job. For example, using 'Draft' mode can cause prints to appear lighter.
Use Quality Paper:
- Ensure you are using good quality paper that is compatible with your printer. Low-quality paper can affect print quality.
Warm-Up the Printer:
- Allow the printer a few moments to warm up before printing large batches. Sometimes streaking happens when the printer is not adequately warmed.
Hope this helps!
Take care, and have an amazing day!
