Cartridge faulty...
Two ways you can find out the faulty cartridge.
1. Remove each cartridge, just flip the drum shutter & chk for any toner bands appears on drum surface.. if found replace that cartridge..
2. Go to the paint. create four colored page as shown, print & verify which colored print mixed with bads.. replace that cartrdige.. ">

Run the Print Quality test. Sounds like one of the color cartridges is bad.
Also run the Disable Cartridge test. That will let you test each cartridge by itself.

Before you do that, open the front door halfway. Now you can see each of the color drums in each cartridge. One of them may have a 1/2" stripe on the drum on the left side.

I had a similar issue with my 510. My printer would only print in b&w regardless of my settings in the printer setup. I uninstalled my printer driver and reinstalled a fresh one from disk. This cleared up my issue.

Well one thing you should do is when your printing something out before you print make sue that you have selected color not black and white because most printers have a default setting to use black and white. Also make sure that you have color ink available to print.

Shake the toner cartridge left to right, then try.

The following can cause bands (vertical on a normal page)


Faulty Toner cartridge
Faulty Drum Unit
Faulty Transfer Belt
Contaminated Fuser
Damaged or dirty LSU glass

You just might have a faulty black toner cartridge think back did the problem arise when you installed the new black cartridge. Also is the toner a original if not change for a original.

Hope this Helps
