Samsung C480FW Ghost image on color

[Kawax]

Hi everybody,

I searched the net for this but found descriptions that do not fit entirely with my issue.  On my laser printer C48, when printing, I get a ghost image. More precisely, I get on the page I'm printing the gost image of the previous page that was printed.  The ghost image is located at exactly the same place on the page.  It happens only with color, black seems fine.  Also, if I print page per page, what means the printer will have more time between each printed page, I don't get the issue.   Paper settings are fine.

The usual suspects are fuser, imaging, transfer unit but I don't know what to do.  As there is a difference between color and black, I would think of the fuser but it is only a guess.  Has someone experienced this issue ?  Whatever part is concerned, is there a fix ?  I only want to replace if absolutely needed.

Kind regards,

Jean-Michel

Hi,
Did you manage to solve this ?

I have the exact same issue...

1. Not really... it is clear that it is warming too much for color. I force reset the counter for imaging unit, but this did not change anything. So when I want googd quality in color, either I print page per page either I succeed in having moee delay between the pages (e.g. askinf for high quality print). There is undortunatly no option to slow down thebprinting speed, to.my knowledge.

the reason why I force reset the imaging unit counter was because it was way too early to change it based on the number of copies. I suspected some kind of forced obsolescence trick, but either it is another unit having the problem (e.g. fuse) either the imaging unit is just bad and needs to be replaced.
