My Xerox Phaser 6125 smears black (!) toner, extra obvious and totalley unacceptable on double sided printed sheets. Different types of paper all show the same problem.

    Additional remarks about the problem: The Xerox 6125 test color print (with the horses) looks perfect, but when I strike my fingers over it, just the black color smears. The big letters 6125 and black parts of the picture bocome grainy and the white paper around it gets gray. The other colors have no problem.

    The fuser is supposed to be 347 degrees F. I suppose it never reaches that temperature. The surroundigs get barely warmer than my hand.

This would normally be the cleaning unit to blame. If in doubt go,to the Xerox.com website and investigate further.
Good luck.

SOURCE: Phaser 7300n Printing on Double Sided Glossy Paper

At first I didn't think the paper was the problem, but I looked up the specs on it and is seems to be a paper designed for an offset press.
I suspect after reading the information on the paper that the coating is not designed for the high temperatures of a laser printiers fuser heat of over 350 degrees.
I do suspect the paper is the issue.
sounds like you are melting the coating.

Xerox 4620 is printing smears all over the page. I replaced the drum but it is still happening. Not sure what could cause this prblem

ask yourself this . Is the paper warm or hot when it has been printed on ?
check fuser unit .
No heat equals unbonded toner on paper equals smearing of toner on paper.

Clean printheads on Xerox phaser 6180

This type of print quality defect shows up if you have loaded the wrong type of paper in your machine and didn't remember to change the paper type (plain paper, card stock, labels, etc.).
This can also happen if the paper has a high moisture content, or if the humidity in the room is too much. Also make sure the room temperature is within its normal operating range (not too hot, not too cold).

The problem you describe could also be caused by using non-Xerox toner/drum units. Compatible toners don't work very well in Xerox printers.

Aside from those problems, the only other thing would be if the Fuser Assembly is near the end of its life...it will also cause some print quality problems like you are describing.

Printer is printing the black color as light grey. Toner is already exchanged.

When you print something from a website and the print box comes up, click on preferences tab, and when it comes up click on color . Then click on print in grayscale and change the setting from High Quality to Black ink only, click apply at the bottom, then OK. It should print in black ink.
