3.2.3 Toner Scatter (3)
Parts of a line or character exhibit splatter. This may occur in a line or character
that is 8 to 13 mm (0.3 to 0.5 inches) from the trailing edge and 20 mm (0.8 inches)
or less from the left edge facing the paper feed direction.
8-13 mm (0.3-0.5 in.)
20 mm (0.8 in.)

Cause:
A shock jitter occurs when the trailing edge of the paper leaves the paper guide
during paper transfer and causes toner scattering.
This may occur if paper with a thickness equivalent to Paper Weight 4 or higher is
used.
Note:
• To adjust the following settings, pre-register the type of paper in use as a custom
paper. For details about registering custom papers, see "Registering a Custom
Paper", Paper Settings Reference.
• Changing the transfer current may produce either or both of the following side
effects:
• Reduction in toner yields
• Occurrence of banding (streaks)
