When I print out anything that is black text or black. The black prints out a super light grey all other color's seem to be fine I tried a new imaging unit and still same outcome no change. I have swap out all the consumables with another working phaser and no change.
I have a Xerox Phaser 6130N that periodically prints black as light grey. Changing the hardware/ink seems to have no affect. However, I've found that there is some sort of calibration that the printer will do that temporarily fixes the problem. I've tried every step from the maintenance menu, with no luck. However, I just changed the driver that I'm using for the printer from the 6130N to the Xerox Phaser 6180N. After it completed printing a poor quality black page, the printer went though a "calibrating" cycle (about 30 seconds) and then the next page out was dark black. I now believe there is a required calibration that is not being triggered at appropriate intervals and that this is the cause of the "grey" poor quality black. Not sure how to trigger the calibration, but changing the driver appeared to do it. Incidentally, after returning to the original Phaser 6130N driver, the print quality remained good (dark black); so, it's not the driver... it's the calibration.
