Everyone
probably have encountered some type of printing issue and the most common printer
issues are paper jam, streaky prints, and blotchy prints. However, do you know
that sometimes bad print quality is not always caused by toner, drum, or other
printer parts? Before you rush to spend money to change out a perfectly working
part, some standard maintenance and cleaning may very well solve the print
quality issue at hand. The printer and parts maintenance are equally important
as using good quality OEM/remanufactured cartridges to achieve clean prints
every time.
As
for Sharp AL-1631 and AL-1641CS laser copier models, if the cartridges are in
good condition but still producing dirty prints, try below instruction on how
to clean the transfer charger:
1.
Switch off the power
2.
Make sure that the multi-purpose tray is open. Press the side cover open button
to open the side cover
3.
Take the charger cleaner out by holding the tab
4.
Move the charger cleaner to the right then gently slide it to the left end then
remove it. Repeat this step two to three times
5.
Return the charger cleaner to its original position. Close the side-cover by
pressing the round projections near the side cover open button
6.
Turn the power switch back on
Print
out a testing page and see if streaky or blotchy issue has been fixed. You may
want to repeat the simple cleaning technique a few times to achieve optimal
results.
