20 Most Recent Xerox Phaser 7300DN Laser Printer - Page 6 Questions & Answers

your computer is the very old model are you interested to print paralal port mean 24 pin cable so you can buy usb to paralal cable then solve your problem it is possible to print only for windows not for mac

I have looked and this problem confused me to no end.
I started searching through engineering notes from Xerox and found this line which I am copying and pasting.
This is not my opinion I can send you the entire report if you wish.
But sadly here is the answer.

Although supported, glossy paper will exhibit background toner and is a limitation of the printer technology.

put the driver onto each computer

I think this is rebadged OKI in which case it has LED array that goes across drums. You should see strips of LED's across under the top of the lid when you open it. Clean these with ALCOHOL swab ONLY. Let dry and try!

do you see the fuser, which is a halogen bulb light up when you print? if not it's bad

You most likely have a bad main board in the machine. It is warming up properly , but once warm it is not pulsing the heat rod to maintain temperature. If you just walk away for a while, does the machine finally produce a fault code?
The problem is in the circuit that maintains the heating elements. Once it gets so cool,it should fault out.
You could have software corruption and its mainting to low a temperature. Let me know if after sitting for about an hour , is there a fault code that shows up.

Hi,


Try all of the steps on the link below but I would say steps 4 & 7 will help solve the problem, its just colour calibration but best to eliminate all the other steps just in case. Good luck

Try printing a menu map on the machine and if this is printing multiple copies then it is a machine fault, if not it could be a driver issue.

On the other hand if it is multiple copies on one page, follow the solution below.

Normal 0 Driver could be corrupt.
Disconnect the printer or at least be sure it is turned off. I'd do both and reinstall the CD software program that came with the printer. When the software program asks you to connect the printer to the USB port, do so and it should again work properly.
Hope this helps. Bud

Go to the Xerox website go to support and drivers and DL the newest Driver for the Product

Check in side the fuser unit there are two latches to release it and the unit comes out as one. check in there also you may have a paper feeding issue try to use the MPT as the paper sourse.

unplug and shut down everything for 5 min...... then plug in/reboot in this order....

PC
Router
Printer

Wait until each has started up fully before going to the next item.

Try using the PCL driver from the Xerox website, rather than the Postscript one supplied with the printer.

I had the same problem and installing the PCL driver solved it.

Problem:

The Printer's Front Panel Displays Jam At Top Cover; Open Top Cover To Clear (A7)

Cause:

Media is jammed in the fuser exit area.

Solution: Fixed! Did not fix. TRY FIRST (Solutions without parts):
1. Unsupported media. - Load supported media and set the media type correctly. 2. Dirty exit rollers. - clean the exit rollers. Paper catching on the duplex guide assembly. - Remove and reinstall the duplex guide assembly. Fuser not fully seated. - Reseat fuser







REPAIR/INSPECT/PREVENT PROCEDURE:
1. Clean feed rollers and exit rollers only when dust or
debris is visible.
2. Clean the LED assemblies.
3. Check version of print engine and image processor
firmware; as appropriate.
4. Check cleanliness of interior and exterior of printer,
including fans; if necessary, clean (dust or vacuum) these
areas.
5. Review proper operation of printer using a customer
file, if possible.
6. Review with customer all work that was performed; also
discuss how to properly care for their printer.

Rev DT: 01 22 2003

the gears which pulls the paper are worn out or having dust particles in it or got cracked in between .u need to replace the gear assembly of the printer.its worth $50 for each side left and right. this is common problem in this printer.

What code is comming up with the jam? That would help me narrow it down for you.

I would try changing the driver you are using. There are multiple drivers and it really sounds like that will resolve your problem.
For the drivers go to Xerox.com.
on the tool bar select Support and Drivers.
Then enter your printer number, being phaser enter phaser 7300 in the search .
Select your operating system and there will be PS and PCL drivers.
I am 99.9 percent sure the issue is in the driver.
