A client reports poor quality prints with faded areas appearing randomly across the pages when using their laser printer. It suggests a wear-related issue, and you have been asked to resolve it. Which of the following components should be checked FIRST to address the quality issue?
Fuser assembly
Transfer belt
Pickup rollers
Imaging drum
In laser printers, the imaging drum's surface attracts toner in the pattern of the print image, then transfers that toner to paper. If the quality of the print has become poor with faded areas, it can often be due to wear or defects in the imaging drum. Although fuser assembly issues could lead to faded prints too, they are more associated with toner not adhering properly, which causes smudging. Transfer belts are important, but their failure typically affects color intensity and registration rather than causing random faded areas. Pickup rollers failing are more likely to cause paper jams rather than poor print quality.
