A user reports that their printouts contain a shadow of the previous image. Which of the following is MOST likely the cause?
Pickup assembly
Fuser assembly
Corona wire
Separation pads
The fuser assembly uses heat and pressure to melt and fuse toner onto the paper. When a fuser assembly is failing, it may not properly bond all the toner, or the cleaning mechanism for its roller might fail. This can cause leftover toner from a previous image to stick to the fuser and be transferred onto the next page, creating a faint, ghosted image. The other components listed cause different issues: faulty separation pads or pickup assemblies lead to paper-feeding problems, while a defective corona wire typically causes faded or blank printing.
